He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center

He is putting on a show and pretending not to care, but this kind of shaming in the typically "polite" public spaces would definitely sting, especially for Usha. Maybe they didn't understand the personal consequences of dismantling a democracy, but seeing as they are working against the constitution by ensuring domestic strife, reducing the general welfare, and dismantling liberty for Americans, they deserve to be dogged by public displays of disapproval for the rest of their lives.

This reminds me of the opera scene from Dangerous Liaisons:

Government travel is down, and airlines are cutting DC flights. This is not good.

At least the tariffs will mostly hit red states.

Venezuelans in 'Doralzuela' Who Voted For Trump Feel Betrayed As Administration Revokes TPS and Ramps Up Deportations--

I read either here or on another thread that racism is quite present in certain Latino communities. Cubans are one group. Perhaps Venezuelans are another.

I'm also seeing Indians being "white" supremacists (Dinesh D'Souza defending his daughter by saying she's married to a white GOP guy approved by Trump). It's really something to see various groups hating on each other. Another example: Black church people hating on gays.

Everyone could just...get along. However, some let their limited mindsets take over and that ruins the world.

Interesting that you single out “Black church people hating on gays” — like white “church people” are open accepting? lol
This is one instance where you can clearly see that one group was taught hate by another group — since “church” was deliberately forced on “Black church people “ by the whites who used it as one of many forms of oppression.

Not really that interesting. White church goers are not treated badly due to the color of their skin.

My point is that groups that are treated like cr-p treat others like cr-p. Case in point: White supremacist Indian Americans. When they see no problem with their racist and misogynist actions, it surprises me. By this point, I should not be surprised.

If they examined their own thinking, they would have a chance of doing better. But oppression and putting others down is a virus that spreads.

I am the furthest thing from a Trump/Vance supporter, but I don't think booing him makes Dems look good at all. Also, I think Usha is very pretty. [/quote]

What makes you think it was just Dems booing? The theater world has always used the venue to make their opinions known.[/quote]

Maybe MAGAs were booing JD because his wife is brown. Maybe that’s why he smiled and waved—because he agrees with them.

There are plenty of people Dem or Tep alike who are appalled by this Administration.

And, I thought this Administration is all for rally-like behavior.

If this administration were more typical, I might agree. But they are dismantling our democracy, so he deserves to be boo'ed where ever he goes.

Comments about his wife's looks are sexist though and unnecessary. Criticize her for what she does, not how she looks.

She ended with: “Usha is pretty.”

I responded that she was “Pretty evil.”

Bring on the booing!

Pretty evil, I’d say.

Do you think it was a bad look for MAGA to boo the Clintons and Obama at the inauguration? [/quote]

DP - You think it’s “evil” to boo someone who is benefiting from and responsible for the destruction of the Kennedy Center’s much admired programs and mission? How are you so sure that the people booing were all Dems? Maybe they were music lovers who realized that with Trump in charge and Usha now on the KC board programs like the one that they were all there to see might no longer be possible.

For me, the “evil” part is that Vance smiled and waved while actively participating in the destruction of a cultural institution. No, people don’t have to like it — or to smile and wave back.

I don't think that will convince the white supremacist of anything...

I’m not Indian, so this is an outsider’s opinion. Whiteness is a concept that, in the US, has had changing boundaries. Whiteness is about privilege and supremacy. I think some Indians view themselves as “white”— then get surprised, shocked, and hurt when they realize that not everyone else views them as “white”. The Irish and the Italians got to cross the divide into “whiteness”— so it’s a shock to these people when they see that they’re not “white yet — that not everyone views them in the way that they view themselves. Transitions are hard! — Especially for people who work hard, check all the boxes, and have been reliably bigoted against Black Americans and “illegal” immigrants to demonstrate that they are Real Americans too.

Nathan Hooven is a disabled Air Force veteran who voted for Donald Trump in November. Barely three months later, he's now unemployed and says he feels betrayed by the president’s dramatic downsizing of the federal government that cost him his job.

So I guess he thought his DEI status that got him hired for his Federal job would single him out for some special protections — since Trump campaigned on destroying the Federal Government. “Betrayed “ is an interesting choice of words. I’m almost sorry that I haven’t listened to Trump froth at a rally. I’m curious to know how people like Hooven understand what Trump is selling them.
