    I’m sorry about your father and all. But she is a person who will sweep everything hindutva-fascist under the rug.

    I truly hope I come one day with your notification on my feed saying Eat them and I’ll graciously eat my words.

    All in all, sorry about your situation with your father hopefully you’ll get to a better place where you won’t have to fear expressing your identity.

      I have no doubt that she will, it's just wrong to put her in the same category as people like my father. they don't believe the same things and act for very different reasons. like you'd be totally right to call her a liberal fascist (what a strange world we live in where that's a coherent phrase) in the american context but her position on india is deeply ambivalent to modi and the hindutva bullshit there. she'd be as happy with a liberal government there as a fascist one because she's an american imperialist that only gives a shit about american power.

      tulsi gabbard is different and has built actual ties to modi and the bjp. she's their main vector of power within the democratic party and the US.
