Something I have been curious about. Do you experience sexual attraction yourself? Is it based on voice?

Nobody cares about or loved drag shows. They care about the first amendment. Don't flip right wing drag-show-hatred to liberal love of drag shows. You are lying and you know it.

The ones who refuse vaccinations in the middle of the deadliest pandemic in a 100 years, NOT!

>> you are a social conservative of the Clayton Bigsby variety.

> I’m a social conservative of the “typical Bangladeshi” variety

Of course black/brown conservatives are not all the same.

They are able to make this threat because of summary data made available by EVMs

Additionally, Muslims in Gujarat and UP have been coerced into voting for BJP candidate by threatening them with shut down of municipal services when BJP wins. This is enabled because EVMs report summary statistics from each location which the government employees have access to.

Apparently, death threats and actual deaths and rapes should only happen to Dalits and Muslims via periodically organized riots. It's also a great idea to jail the lawyer of the survivor of a lynch mob, Teesta Setalvad. Indias Supreme court is pleased.

I understand by "Indian friends" you mean upper caste Hindu Indian friends who are Modi acolytes and his primary voting demographic. Not Indian Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Dalits or Shudras who form greater than 50% of the Indian population.

And the Modi apologist shows up because Altnews has been fact checking right wing misinformation for several years now.

In terms of economics, India will not be in the same league, of course.

> Social conservatism is where “black and brown people” have the most in common with white republicans:

Sure conservative blacks and browns, just like the whites can be compelled to vote against their own interests by group 2 and group 3.

> in 2000, Muslims got George W. Bush elected

Your ability to fish for random bits of data to reinforce whatever point you are making is exceptional.

> I’m frankly offended at the insinuation that I’m a libertarian!

I honestly don't care about getting your political category right, but now that I recall - you are a social conservative of the Clayton Bigsby variety.

Anyway, thanks for acknowledging that conservatism is inherently anti democratic.

In the USA, we have

1. Social conservatives - anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, Christian should be at the bottom hierarchy. Tucker Carlson informs them who they should focus on at the present moment. For now it is trans people. It was Mexicans and Muslims very recently and immigrants are a perennial favorite.

2. Libertarians - We already have people at the bottom of the hierarchy. Let's just keep them there by disallowing government support and subjecting them to monopolies and arcane private contracts. They are also highly supportive of bombing nations perceived to be lower in the hierarchy.

3. Big business - doesn't care who is at the bottom as long as they are guaranteed exclusive reign at the top.

Obviously, hierarchies are difficult to maintain in a democracy as the majority of the people are at the bottom of the hierarchy. This problem is solved by obfuscation and propaganda. Group 3 uses Group 2(rayiner et al) to construct messaging and propaganda to convince Group 1 to vote against their own interests. In fact, the US Democratic party is also center right and operates in a similar, but less blatant fashion. This can be seen from how Bernie Sanders was shut out of the party nominations even if it meant losing the 2016 elections.
