When people point out that a right wing politician is anti-immigrant but married to an immigrant, they think they're pointing out some damning hypocrisy.
But it's actually much worse and more interesting than hypocrisy, which is both boring and universally present in all people.
What they're putting their finger on is a universal quality of right wing pols/leaders that forms the backbone of every decision they make:
A desire to *dominate*.
