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

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.
