Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Are you telling me that if we support autocratic ethnonationalist strongmen who target minorities and political opponents with violence... ... it might hurt an American??? /s

I didn't read this article. What the hell? He's doing all this shit out in the open. It's not a darker side, it's just his front-facing side.

I know it's just the the internet but I remember when this guy was first elected this was the direction Indians commenting on politics feared. He's always been a populist authoritarian. Crazy how far his reach is though.

Almost any country has a lot more money and reach than people realize.
