For a very long time now. But yeah you’re completely right though - it’s NOT new! It’s nothing new. Any minority person that chooses to operate in the only party that the white-nationalist movement feels comfortable in, and has been for decades, should expect to be treated the way white nationalists treat minorities.

Isn't that where he ran the last time for political office? These people seem to move addresses as fast as they change mistresses!

from South India in my nursing days back in Texas. Occasionally patients would make comments about them. Derogatory religious comments were easy to deflect. I would just tell the person making the comment that the Malayalis had been Christian longer than virtually any Europeans. The original St. Thomas actually died in Kerala 2,000 years ago.

In a twisted way, this gives me hope that we can take back the governorship next year. Christian Nationalists aren’t going to tolerate and get behind Ramalamadingdong.

Ohio probably isn't as religious though and that's one reason he might have a chance at winning.

But will Ohio vote for a Democratic woman over him? I’m hoping hardcore MAGAts stay home from the polls.

Just imagine some of his (presidential?) campaign rallies when he presents his wife Usha and the kids on stage in front of a racist audience in some Deep South state or Ohio. "She don't look "murican to me boys. And I did hear tell she's an Indian, so why don't she stay on a reservation."
To which Vance replies, "You stupid, vulgar, greedy, ugly American death sucker!" (William Burroughs)
