Recently, the MAGA movement showed its ugly side with a social media meltdown targeting South Asians, revealing deep racism and exposing how hate-fueled politics spiral out of control. While Trump’s team has included Indian Americans like Usha Vance and Kash Patel, the party is now torn between traditional conservatism and a radical, anti-Semitic faction led by figures like Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Hitler. These internal fights threaten to push the GOP toward White Christian nationalism or force genuine reflection—if they ever truly believed in inclusivity. Will the party unite or descend further into hate?

The moral decay runs deeper than #partisanship.#antisemitism
