I’m An Immigrant, Minority Woman Going Republican Over Democrats’ Treatment Of Kavanaugh

I have become a unicorn. My metamorphosis didn’t require a magic spell or potion, or even a trip to a well-reviewed plastic surgeon to add a horn to my head. All it took was Democrats’ treatment of Brett Kavanaugh over the last few weeks to turn me into that elusive creature: a minority, immigrant woman who supports Republicans.

I moved to the United States from Trinidad and Tobago eight years ago when I married my husband, Christopher, former U.S. Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia’s eighth (and, in my opinion, most lovable) child. Some people might read that and think, “Well, that’s no surprise then; Justice Scalia’s daughter-in-law is hardly likely to be anything but Republican!”

But they would be wrong. I’ve always considered myself politically moderate: I am unapologetically pro-life, but my views on affirmative action, Black Lives Matter, and gun control made me sympathize strongly with Democratic perspectives and occasionally led to arguments with my husband and father-in-law.

That sense of political homelessness was a big reason that I was never in a hurry to become an American citizen. I figured I’d do it eventually, but not having a strong connection to either party, feeling unsure of where I fit into America’s strange political landscape, meant it was low on my list of priorities.

Fantastic article and expression of her decision.

These are similar reasons (albeit difference circumstances) I, a young, college educated, white woman walked away from the leftists. I saw it all front and center in college and the days after graduation and it not only disgusted me. But left me very concerned for our country. This was back in 1996. (I also observed the more money I made the more the gov't took from me.)

It has been shocking to me the amount of people that have come to be under the spell of their evil intents/machinations and have taken on their rabid, hateful parroting. We truly are dealing with evil folks. I knew it back then. I know it now.

Great to have Adele on board.
