I keep wondering what is going through his wife's mind. Seriously.

That it could be worse, she could be a Muslim living in India right now...? 🤷‍♂️

Or maybe, with her family being part of the Brahmin caste despite her being born in San Diego, she's delighted Modi's persecuting the Muslims—which would explain how she can tolerate her husband turning into a regular little Hitler!

She always voted Democratic before, though. I think she is caught in trying to support her husband, who morphed into being a maga for power (remember when he called trump "America's Hitler? That was the guy she married.

Ethereal fairy Natalie—I don't see those as being inconsistent. She voted Democrat before because her family's not White and...Republicans tend to be bigots, especially against "brown people", and practiced law at a CA firm "with a progressive work culture". (All quotes courtesy The Bouffant of All Knowledge, Wikipedia.)

OTOH, she's always kept her options open, clerking for Right Wing judges like John Roberts and Brent Kavanagh, and when she and Vance were at Yale in 2013, they "collaborated to organize a discussion group at Yale focused on 'social decline in white America'."

Like her husband, I suspect she's less political than opportunistic, and will go with whichever side offers the biggest advantage at the moment.

Yeah, both she and her husband were highly influenced by Tiger Mom Amy Chua, who had a connection to Kavanaugh, sending clerks his way. And it was she who convinced Vance to write his self serving book Hillbilly Bullshittery, ooops, Elegy.

You may be right, I see her as a woman who by virtue of voting for democratic candidates, is not evil. If she was a republican, I would agree. I see her as young, and naive, not the first democratic woman to fall for a con-artist- soulless, power-junkie republican turned maga.

Trump's new squeeze, Loomer, came up with the crack about the White House smelling like curry if Kamala is elected -- a comment which was too racist even for MTG. Has Loomer also pointed out that if Trump is elected, Blair House would be occupied by an Indian-American?

Clearly she's okay with it all.

She wouldn't be the first woman to marry a man who went full-blown Maga.

I cannot fathom what her thought process and emotional content are
