I have to say I really like the sign we see in the DC protest where the sign says, "It is not red vs blue, it is billionaires vs. me and you." Absolutely!
As I have been saying, JDV is a terrible parent and spouse because he is helping to create a country in which his children are not safe in their own skins.
I'm a Cracker (it's really an ethnic designation, not just an epithet). We are the flatland cousins of hillbillies. Scots-Irish immigrants from way back in the day that fanned out across the southern continent. You think we're all lily-white? Like entirely European? Pah. There were people already here when we 'settled', you don't think people may have thought some of those other people were a little cute? My own grandmother would cite great authority that we were descended directly from Pocahontas her own self, to try and justify it all somehow with her cognitive dissonance. The old girl talked a lot of other shit, too.
I'm 99% sure that JDV and Usha get plenty of shade from inside that wonderful trailer-trash clan of theirs. That's good, they deserve it. Their children don't.
Speaking for me, I agree. It is for a lot of people, though. I love seeing people like that tie themselves into knots trying to rationalize the real world to themselves.
Hannah, the world got very complex a while back. The MAGA cartoon of what is "real America" dropped dead circa 1965. I really didn't want to get into an exchange of bonafides with you, but maybe this will help you feel better:
My daughters are half West-Indian Black.
My brother adopted two girls from China.
My sister married a Jordanian Palestinian*, they have two sons.
*A linguistics professor in Texas. The finest man I ever met. His MAGA neighbors struggle to reconcile the cognitive dissonance because he is Muslim. So they call him "a fine Christian man".
Suzeebee, and even worse, Vance and Usha are trying to create a country where their non-white, children will be second or third class citizens.
Well, why not, since Elon wants to build his own sperm-nation of lily-white children. Does he ever donate anything to the common good?
Here was a piece on Musk and his children, who is so sick and disgusting I read it with a sick feeling in my stomach.

Usha looks like a hostage. Is she okay?
Yeah, but I think the Vance family thinks it's white. They're white adjacent.

Being "white"" is not a virtue. So you good.
Speaking for me, I agree. It is for a lot of people, though. I love seeing people like that tie themselves into knots trying to rationalize the real world to themselves.
I am the only person in my family with white skin. My childhood family was white skinned. I have lived both.
I love my chosen family.

You can't make this shit up.

I am puzzled that you think I need to feel better, I am fine. Maybe I misunderstand. No biggie.
Two things come to mind.
Your family will never be a Rockwell painting.
