Only hope I have for the Democratic party right now is Hakeem Jeffries… and honestly, I have not done enough research into him or his background to say that I definitely believe he will do shyt.
But from what I seen, he’s the only one who has shown some semblance of a backbone and the savviness and confidence to lead against these dudes…
But like I said, I am not certain on that

So many South Asian Republicans are totally fine with their party’s racism against Black people and Mexicans but suddenly discover they don’t like it when that racism is (inevitably) aimed at them, too.
[Quoted tweet]
I’m deeply questioning my decision to support the Republican Party after witnessing the persistent and dehumanizing attacks directed at me and my community by individuals who, despite hiding behind a veneer of respectability, openly harbor and amplify racist ideologies. I’ve tried to hold onto the belief that these voices represent a vocal minority, not the broader values of the party. But time and again, I am disheartened as accounts with massive followings—many of them wielding significant influence—parrot unhinged conspiracy theories and perpetuate overtly racist tropes without consequence.
This isn’t just about isolated comments or fringe behavior; it’s about a pattern that reveals an uncomfortable truth about the party’s failure to unequivocally reject bigotry. These attacks aren’t simply offensive—they are alienating to communities whose values, work ethic, and aspirations align with many conservative principles, yet find themselves consistently vilified.
The most troubling part is the normalization of this rhetoric by individuals who should be using their platforms to unite, not divide. It forces one to ask: Is this truly the exception, or is it a reflection of an undercurrent that the party is unwilling—or worse, uninterested—to confront? For a movement that claims to champion merit, individual dignity, and opportunity, it’s disheartening to see those ideals betrayed by voices that choose hate over inclusion.
If the Republican Party wants to grow, evolve, and truly represent a diverse and forward-thinking electorate, it must take a hard look at its blind spots and the voices it elevates. Without that reckoning, it risks alienating not just me, but countless others who once believed in its promise.

Famous poet Rahat Indori’s lines resonate deeply with this sentiment:
Original Hindi:
लगेगी आग तो आएंगे घर कई ज़द में,
यहाँ पे सिर्फ़ हमारा मकान थोड़ी है।
English Translation:
“If the fire spreads, it will engulf every tree and nest,
It’s not just my house here; others live here as well.”
This clearly captures the idea that ignoring injustice against others doesn’t shield one from its eventual impact. What affects one will eventually affect all.

And I don't agree that they can do it by not trying to scare ppl half to death again.
We'll both revisit this in 2 year's time.

What does that money get him? Hes done campaigning…
Musk was rich and pushed Desantis, who failed miserably.
All that money he had and backed a loser before going over to Trump.
He needs Trump more than Trump needs him.
I could be wrong but when Musk is the reason why Trump is even in the seat I feel like he’s the one in control.

Bullshyt, both parties do it all the time. Also I never said that in the first place. I'm simply talking about Republicans doing things where the momentum swings back to the party that is out of power.
