whose parents are from India your post really resonated with me. I agree with you 100 percent and I feel anybody whose acting scared shitless right now believing that appeasing MAGA, Republicans, is going to stop horrendous things from happening is a damn fool with no life experience of dealing with bullies. Growing up in the South and dealing with extreme racism I learned real quickly that you can't appease bullies. You only have three options which is to fight the bully, flee, or submit to the bully. These white Neo-Liberals like you said are clueless because they never had to deal with this type of racism and bullying that non white people have had to deal with their whole entire lives. They are now getting a taste of it and are scared shitless with no clue on how to handle it. The reality is when a bully is in power they are going to come at you regardless of how nice you are to them. It's just the cold reality you have to deal with.
