        Purposely offend and then apologize is a bad strategy.

        They were trying to woo them to vote for them. The irony is delicious.

        That’s all very well but isn’t it ironic that Ganesha is the Remover of Obstacles while the Texas Republicans want to build a wall across the border?

        This is true. I think religion should not be involved in politics. I think this should apply in the USA as well as India. A secular state is a more tolerant one than a religious state, which is why I disagree both Hindu nationalism in India and Christian Dominionism in the USA.

        All true. I am not Indian so my experience is very limited, it’s tragic that britishers imposed western ideas about India on India including the English language so that people still call the framework within with many different devotions find their place in Bharat “Hinduism”.

        You know you are in trouble if you manage to offend a people who have tolerance as one of their core values!

        Jesus Christ rode a donkey into Jerusalem as the “Prince of Peace”. If we’re going to secure Evangelical votes we’ll need an ad depicting Jesus Christ riding the Democratic donkey down 6th Street, Austin TX. DM me for more campaign advice.

        So is no one going to talk about the fact that they said you're apparently meant to worship your political party??? 🤔🤔

        As a Texan, I'm not apologising. Americans are made fun of by everyone, including the Indians. I feel no compunction. Deal with it.

        They are American. That is why the Republicans are trying to get their vote. As a fellow Texan, born and raised, I am making fun of your tweet. I feel no compunction. Deal with it.

        I must admit that my first reaction to the caption was "what on earth have Native Americans to do with Ganesha?". My bad!

        I wish religious people would stop getting offended by cartoons, movies, songs etc..,,,I’m Christian and couldn’t care less if atheists were disrespecting Christ. Jesus’ teachings can’t be destroyed...the only truth that I’m after .
