When Demanding Political Perfection Leads to Tyranny

Vice President JD Vance is widely perceived as the most likely candidate to be America’s 48th President, followed closely by the excellent Marco Rubio. And certainly Vance presents many personal and professional qualities one would seek in a President of the United States, not least his patent love of nation.

The elephant in the room, of course, is that JD Vance is married to a woman, Usha, who although born in America is in many ways culturally Indian, including in her religious dietary practices.

This at a time in American history when we seem awash in tens of millions of Indian migrants who appear utterly resistant and disinterested in assimilating into our American culture, instead establishing their own ethnic enclaves, arguably engaging in predatory take-over of many American industries that were traditionally paths of upward mobility for American citizens, and to a large extent making America less America and more Indian—which would seem to be in neither the interests of America nor India.

This has led some prominent voices on the American political right, perhaps more accurately termed the nationalist right, meaning prioritizing the interests of the American nation over other interests, to proclaim that if JD Vance is the candidate they will decline to cast a vote in the 2028 Presidential elections on the grounds that they are not interested in voting for an American president with an “Indian” spouse.

That American culture is facing an existential threat at the hands of massive third-world invasion of our country seems incontestable, and the nation’s cultural survival rather obviously depends on, well, it’s cultural survival—keeping America American.

Does this concern warrant playing absent from casting a vote in the 2028 Presidential election?

I suggest not—and for much the same reasons I was opposed to this same take when it came to voting for Donald Trump for President in 2016.
