Vivek's campaign for governor is out of touch with Ohio's culture.

That's the point. If he can create a tech hub he can flood it with jeets which is all he cares about.
The Trump endorsement will ensure he wins the GOP primary.
The only way he is not becoming governor is if Sherrod Brown runs for governor and beats Vivek by a hair
Ohio is so screwed
Ohio is so fucked if this snake oil pharma bro jeet makes it. Ohio will turn into jeetville
It isn't a 100% lock, even with Trump's endorsement. Jim Tressel is an Ohio legend, so he might be able to pull it off just on his popularity.
Trump doesn't have a 100% endorsement win rate.
Fuck Vivek, we will make sure his american-hating ass isn't elected.
Vivek just needs to go away. He’s a stain on the party considering how he made his money (jeet scams and nepotism) and he’s clearly just a well spoken yes man who the first time saying something unscripted, gets blown up because (shocking no one) his understanding of American culture is limited to the financial sector.
It's amazing how much more reputational damage Vivek took from the Christmas H1B tweet debacle compared to Elon, who actually started the kerfuffle.
Previously it was only true wignat types like Ann Coulter who openly despised Ramaswamy.
Then Vivek backs a pro-H1B policy already promoted by Trump and Elon, along with some mild jabs at white Americans being lazy, and it's suddenly kosher to hate him because he's a slimy pajeet again.
Trump and Elon more-or-less emerged unscathed from the base. It's mostly the usual leftist and normie types with TDS hating on them.
I'm glad Vivek got exposed and am 100% against the H1B Great Replacement nonsense.
But the meta on how it played out so quickly is fascinating.
Trump has years of goodwill to burn up. Elon is also better at tossing red meat. It helps that neither of them are jeets themselves.
Vivek got hit harder because it allowed his past come to light. He’s everything that people despise about corporate pharma and jeet nepotism. Elon for what he is has an immaculate track record with his companies. For example he didn’t promote catching a rocket, have his brother make an ai video of it happening and sell on the peak before the company tanked. Elon and Trump also backtracked to saying 15k a year, Vivek went on a retarded tangent that demonized Americana as lazy while having those massive skeletons in his closet.
I think it's chicken-&-egg re: his Big Pharma fraud.
After people were already mad about his H1B shilling, his dementia drug pump&dump was then widely circulated to smear him as the huckster he is.
But it's not like his wealth and history were a big secret before Dec 2024.
Indians have almost no social currency in the first place so he had nothing to fall back on lol
Doesnt help trump wants to do a "gold card"..
Nice whataboutism
Elon didn't say that Americans were deficient like Vivek did. That's the difference.
Yeah Elon still wants the same shit but he didn't insult us to the same level as vivek did.
Personally I hate both of their stances on this. But there is a difference in what they did.
I find it hard to believe that a few mean words against White Americans from Vivek made all the difference.
But there was some higher meta that overnight permitted conservatives to switch from colorblindness to jeet hate wrt the slick-talking Ramaswamy.
Which I'm totally fine with. I just don't understand how exactly it all went down.
Turns out Whites don't like being talked down to by a poojeet
It makes perfect sense Vivek put his foot in his mouth like that. People have been expressing similar sentiments my whole life, especially in his circles, but it's PC boilerplate that nobody bothers correcting or college dorm philosophy at Harvard, which, well.
The lolbertarians who voted to put abortion in our state constitution and legalize recreational marijuana will laugh "yeah, so?" when told Vivek will flood Ohio with Indians.
Since when is abortion even a freedom? İs clealry violates multiple hardline rules on murder and ethics. Methinls the lolberts have been infiltrated.
<1% irrelevant losers
I grew up in a small city with low crime and a healthy economy; one year it was even ranked as one of the top places to live in the country.
I don't think its a coincidence that the city council, made up mostly of geriatrics, had their gatekeeping game dialed up to 11. They wouldn't even let contractors build skyscrapers downtown; and most residents were just fine with that.
Fuck vivek. Retard is out of touch with America. Hope to see smart ohioians not fall for his snake oil bullshit
Spicyramens American Citizenship is an idea, he should be returned postage due to a place called India.
He'll probably win the primary, but he's liable to lose the state to a Democrat. Vivek seems like a smart guy, but he seems out of touch with rural america, his whole life has been hoping between Ivy league schools and billionaire investment meetings. The fact he's briefly owned a penthouse and office space in Cincinnati doesn't mean he understands what the average Ohioan wants
