Well dude, think about it. She’s out in the middle of nowhere, with some dude she barely knows. She looks around and what does she see? Nothing but conservatives. “Ah there’s nowhere for me to run! What am I gonna do, not laugh at his jokes?”

    Nah this is exactly what she wants. She wants to hang around racists for a little bit of influence in their administration. Any other sane woman of color would’ve run away the moment their supporters started questioning her heritage.

      Let’s keep racist/cultural attacks out of this. Unless you have evidence that someone tried to get her into an arranged marriage, it’s pretty harmful to look at someone with Indian heritage and have arranged marriages pop into your mind. I’ve not heard any reference to that and it makes it seem like that was her only alternative. My understanding is that she was not pushed to marry him because she had no options. She made the decision to of her own free will and that’s important.
