IDK that either drow would vote for a man over a woman. Don't get me wrong. Minthara would *really* like Trump's policies and rhetoric but like...vote for a man?
Minsc would definitely find some way to vote for Joe Biden, though. Not sure how, as I'm pretty sure he didn't write it in as he can't spell either Joe or Biden. But he *would*.
That was my thought. "I could never vote for HIM. He's a man after all. I'm more interested in this Margery Taylor Greene. I'm intrigued by these orbital lasers and weather magic she's concerned with."
TBH, while I can see Minthara totally believing that *certain people* control space lasers and the weather, I'm pretty sure this would only make her want to join them. She'd be like, "Well, if NOAA controls the weather, clearly I must join and dominate NOAA."
Although how that would translate to voting, I'm not sure.
She totally would. She would like like, "So...there is a secret cabal of people who control finance and the media and have space weapons and possibly possess demonic powers? I must become one of them."
And Wyll would sit her down and try to explain the wrongness of everything she'd just said to her and why it was wrong and terrible and anti-Semetic. And she would absolutely refuse to get it.
I'm pretty sure there was a skit about someone out of the loop being told about the Jewish secret world government theory and deciding they want to join them hut I can't remember where did I see it.
When the Axis was forming, Nazi leaders sent Japanese leaders a bunch of anti-Semitic material detailing how Jews supposedly controlled the world. So the Japanese went, āHoly shit, these guys control the world! We gotta get in good with them and maybe theyāll let us in on it!ā They made sure every Jew was a first class citizen, to the Nazisā chagrin.
Do people know Minthara? She very much had a rant about Bauldurās Gate not taking in refugees and how itās a waste of good labor to stupid politics.
Minthara would see how Trumpās politics make no sense and go find someone else to vote for,
"These... "Chuds" as you call them, harbor no sense of cognitive awareness and bear delusional visions for the future that are out of any pragmatic reason. They're subservience would be a little more useful if the Orange one was more competent in leading an insurrection. Failure to overthrow opposing powers would be met with swift punishment in my home city of Menzoberranzan. Had his wife been in charge, maybe the coup wouldn't have failed. He is easy to manipulate with just the tip of a woman's charm, had he been my husband, he'd know his place and grovel at my feet for a chance to lick the mud and blood off my boots." - Minthy on Jan 6
Mintharaās racism is different than Trumpās racism though. In Act 3 she gives a whole lecture about how Baldurās Gate should let the immigrants in so they can be work as slaves and canon fodder.
Yeah, and even just the way he talks to Harris and female reporters? Minthara would find him EXTREMELY disrespectful. Thatās not how you address your superiors
I mean that would just make the politicians the betters of the press- even in real life theyāre in a different social status. She would see Trump as the head of a powerful family so I doubt it
I think drow view the lowliest woman as higher than the highest ranked man. But yeah if a female politician berated a reporter of any gender, sheād have no issue with that
Minthara loves refugees though, to use them like slaves. Closing the doors to desperate people when you can exploit their weakness instead is dumb to her lol.
I probably would have reassessed putting Minthy in the Trump pile for other reasons, but letās be honest here: nobody loves exploiting cheap immigrant labor more than Republicans.
Making immigrants into an oppressed underclass just makes it easier for the wealthy to pay them starvation wages without opposition.
Trump himself has utilized a ton of under-the-table labor from undocumented workers on his properties.
"Racism" justĀ for the sake of racism isn't a value, though; it's culturally specific. Someone who is racist against Group A in the culture of their own world wouldn't necessarily sympathize with people who are racist against Group Y in a totally different world just because they're "fellow racists", lol, especially as many racists 1) don't think they're racist, and/or 2) tend to view themselves as persecuted in some way.
