    He should've never apologized when the majority of the Vietnamese Americans, especially the ones who fled after Vietnamese won the war, are republican voters anyway.
    Should've doubled down and kept firm with an anti-imperialist stance, reactionaries are still reactionaries even if they are immigrants.

    I dont know much about the people who left vietnam at the end of the war and came to the US. I just assume it was the worst of the worst who sided with capitalists and lost.

      I've known a few "boat people" from Vietnam, when I inquired, they didn't reveal much about family history besides standard collaboration stuff. Idk, it's definitely a hard to pin down demographic

        Seems like their politics are similar to "refugees" from Latin America, the article says, "Vietnamese Americans have historically voted Republican, though their children are increasingly staking out more liberal positions and voting for Democrats." AKA people who had a grudge against people who ended their parents' or grandparents' greed are becoming less common as their kids aren't fed Cold War propaganda and experience the realities of American capitalism.

    Had someone today try to explain to me how it was actually the US that was there to liberate Vietnam from the invading commies and then said this... "And yea let’s act like the US isn’t the one who spoke against colonialism, freed it’s colonies and advocated or self determination against colonialism."
