It was honestly embarrassing how many people on the "race realist" right fell for it.
The siren's song of hiring Indians for anything: "if we could get them to do what they say they can do it'd be awesome".
I don't want to hire or import more Indians for anything, for the record.
And I was entirely suspicious of Vivek, always. Still, if he had been "one of the good ones" or whatever, that would have been a good outcome.
I'm not going to apologize for wishing the best for everyone, while retaining my suspicions. I think that's a pretty good baseline, actually.
I want to drastically or completely curb immigration. Doesn't mean I can't cheer on actual pro-American people, no matter the background. If Vivek had turned out to be that, it would have been preferable to him being a fucking snake. That's my point. I would have liked to be wrong in my well-founded suspicions.
To be clear, I wasn't saying you were guilty of the things I said. However there were public figures on the "race realist" right who should have known better who thought he was the "future" of the right and who thought he signaled a rightward shift in the Republican party beyond Trump.
That their response to him was anything but "His name is 'Vivek': I think I'll pass" should be embarrassing to them.
Fair enough, and I didn't think you were. Just wanted to clarify.
Never trusted the snake, but would have been happy to have been wrong, and to have him actually be Our Guy.
