I work with several Indian people, and sadly this sentiment is very common.

Many of them transferred from India to the US, and some were lucky enough for their employer to sponsor a green card before the tariffs became insane for people from India.

Many of them, including those that cannot vote and those that don't have green cards, love Trump. They actively want to ensure that people from other countries have no route to the US, despite many of them flipping entirely when something happens that jeopardises their ability to stay. Lately, several were celebrating a Trump win because it meant that the stock prices on their RSU's would rise. If it means layoffs, they'll criticise Trump or the Dems for their current leadership.

It's basically the same as what happens here in the UK. People will either vote for what immediately benefits them only, or they'll vote for immediate damage for what may be long-term benefits for their beliefs. Very few view the big picture, and many that are directly affected consider themselves to be outliers - the genius that got through.
