So I take he’s cool if their neighbours just take over their house, murder their family, have their extended family move in, and then claims it’s always been their property and really only defending their territory. Fucking prick.

He's a conservative. So, yes.

Yes, Vivek Ramaswamy is a Republican.

The First Lesson of Vivek: Where matters of state are concerned, one should always take the most reprehensible approach possible. It is paramount for all decisions to make as little sense and be as broadly harmful as possible, lest you be seen as weak. Everything one does must serve the bottom line of Owning the Libs, as the Nerevarine shall own Dagoth Ur.

Vivek: "Into the Weenie-Mobile... Weenie man, away!"

Vivek is going full Tucker Carlson here.

He can go fuck himself.

Right wing fascist Indians in the West exist because they're mostly of upper caste origins in their apartheid tiered society.

[–] newcockroach@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I am an Indian and right leaning at that. I still think he is a Bad choice both for the US and global stablity and peace

I remember a time when bad things would have happened to traitors in America. Looks like being a traitor is ok now.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Oh look, yet another filthy republican traitor.

Putin puppet

Everything I read about this guy just makes me think he's angling to be Trumps VP pick. After all, he has to know the Republicans would never elect a brown guy.
