"I understand why the vice president feels so strongly that he has to defend Musks’s staffer against what he perceives to be a liberal onslaught. Over the past decade or so, so many people have lost their livelihoods as a consequence of liberal political correctness that often views people as disposable if they happen to utter the wrong thought. Not only is this inhumane, it undermines progressive values. Progressives are supposed to value compassion and mercy, not serve as judge, jury, and executioners for WrongThink.
But I think Vance is making a mistake here by being so defensive of conservatives without taking into account how the rest of the country feels. Just look at the vote total in places like Irving, Texas, or Edison, New Jersey. A lot of Indian Americans swung towards Trump-Vance in this recent election. What those people want to hear is not just a defense of classical liberalism or mercy towards racist posters.
They also want to hear that the Trump administration will not be judging you by the color of your skin or your ancestry or your faith. Vance could’ve said all that he said against firing people over social media posts while also rising to the defense of Indians, Arabs, Jews, and others that Elez had insulted."
