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?”
The sexism that these women can’t be just as awful as the men is fucking ridiculous in 2025.
They know what they signed up for, and they’re actively choosing to go along with it every single fucking day. In many cases they’re the driving force in the extremist views in the relationship.
I grew up in a very very “conservative” area. The women were often worse than the men.
Thank you! Her parents were college professors who seemed to support liberal ideals and she lived comfortably and is well educated. She did not need to marry this man. She is not some abused woman. He openly describes how growing up in a conservative evangelical house shaped him as person. He did not spring his beliefs on her.
The person who “helped” him write the book is the same one that set the two of them up and got her clerkships with Kavanaugh and Roberts.
If anything I’d say Usha is the one calling the shots in that relationship.
But she 100% is aware of what is happening and supports it.
Here too.
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.
She clerked for Roberts and Kavanaugh…
She knows exactly what’s happening and is happy to help.
And while she might be a “person of color” in America, her family were very wealthy in India and their caste system is a whole can of worms to get into.
Racism isn’t just for white folks. And even pre-British India really really cared about skin tone.
People just don’t seem to get the “totem pole logic” that goes into this. Lots of people who don’t belong to the “top group” still support the system because they’re still towards the top of the pecking order.
Lots of people are fine with a caste system if it guarantees they’re always be above a lot of other people.

It literally was…
Remember that “Tiger Mom” bullshit?
Amy Chua was her name, she was a professor at Yale and set the two of them up.
She’s famous for the Tiger Mom shit, but she has a lot of problematic rightwing beliefs, and likely also got JD’s wife the clerkships with Kavanaugh and Roberts.
They were put together to be a “political power couple” similar to Bill and Hillary. The husband is the candidate the voters like (Republican voters do) and the wife is the actual brains behind it.
So while your “joke” is pretty racist…
This did happen to be an arranged marriage, it just was about politics and not religion.
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.
She can make rash decison based on FEAR!
