It still weirds me out how many of them have wives from abroad. I suspect mail-ordered (or whatever we call that nowadays), but anyhow.
My old college roommate is as MAGA and anti-immigrant as they come, but is currently engaged to a woman half his age from the Philippines. He met her on Instagram by commenting on some of her bikini photos. 🤮
Slavers weren't consistently anti-immigration. They were just opposed to free and open immigration.
My ex has an uncle who imported a much younger wife. Yes he was always very conservative (and racist) and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a maga true believer. It always seemed questionable.
However she was always very independent, to the point of bringing over her medical licensing, and was well on her way toward building a successful independent life that she couldn’t have back home. Some of these may be working well for both parties
I once got roped into a discussion by a far-right populist election stand. Me, clearly an immigrant. IDK why he didn't just give up. Maybe because his far-Eastern wife was standing nearby, smiling, offering soft drinks to passersby, and probably listening. IDK. Anyhow, I asked him what his party can do for me specifically, an immigrant and non-citizen. It was a joy to listen to him stumble through that. Then I looked at his wife, who looked at me intently and had a big grin on her face. It was very clear that she had her own opinions on her man's shenanigans.
wonder if that woman is going to ditch him after she gets her MD license certified. which is can take a long time, because being an MD in the US if your in immigrant who went to med school elsewhere is pretty difficult.
That’s where the age difference comes in. I think she’s about 40, while he’s pushing 80. She may not have to wait long
doesnt surprise me, they cant get with a white woman or another woman in the states because thier racism is repulsive to them, or they are wierd people. they think an immigrant wife is more submissive, because they can hold it over thier heads.
Another thing i noticed is they choose immigrants are more ignorant and not up to date on the current politics/beliefs , they want a blank slate where the guy doesnt have to worry that the woman is up to thier BULLSHIT and dump them for someone that is a better SO. i was once following a youtuber/s one was obviously conservative but tries to hide behind "liberterian/progessive values" in the end he got with a british chick from the isles, it was discussed on thier subreddit, he chose the chick because she wouldnt know about how offensive his "holier than thou" right ring attitude is. because his previous GFs on the channel is all aware of his BS, and implied he was just a manchild, it was asian tuber channel, who originally hosted a variety of guests.
"Bro, I'll deport your wife if you deport mine"
