The year of newly minted Indian American GOP stars
The year of newly minted Indian American GOP stars
Indian Americans are the perhaps most well-represented minority in the Trump administration this cycle. Some find that surprising, but experts say the group has long been poised to slip into the current Republican mold.
Summary
Indian Americans are poised to play key roles in Trump’s incoming administration, including Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Harmeet Dhillon, marking historic GOP representation.
This shift is attributed to Trump’s anti-China stance, support for India’s Modi right-wing government, and his appeal to wealthy, educated Indian Americans.
Despite Indian Americans traditionally leaning Democratic, their rise has sparked controversy, facing both far-right racism and criticism for supporting policies like anti-immigration stances.
Experts highlight caste privilege and alignment with right-wing ideologies as factors enabling their political ascent.

Why would refusing to vote for an Indian Democrat be vindicated by the existence of these assholes?
