Slick vapid Vivek’s noxious fantasies

One of the things that makes Vivek Ramaswamy so compelling for so many people is that he can spin up and spit out exactly the right sounding words — exactly the words his audience craves at the moment — without a moment’s premeditation. He spews with cast-iron conviction, then just shouts indignantly whenever questioned about specifics in his present or past word-vomit.

This habit of off-the-cuff, eager-to-please-the-audience-of-the-moment loquaciousness is what dooms VR to cringe-worthy self-contradictions, strings of tortured absurdities that, on a moment’s inspection, pop like soap bubbles colliding with a rose bush.

Below are some examples…

a) Vivek on his $50,000 affirmative action scholarship at a time when he was pocketing hundreds of thousands in consulting fees.

b) Vivek claims white supremacy is a boogeyman, rarer than a unicorn. Rarer than a unicorn?? Well, he responds, most racism “comes from the modern left.”

c) Though Vivek is quick to label as “racist” anyone who rhymes his last name with “swarmy” (an all-too-apt description of his demeanor), he’s not above tagging Nikki Haley as Indian by ignoring her childhood name (Nikki) and married surname (Haley) to call her “Namarata Randhawa,” the first and last names on her birth certificate.

d) Politico reports: “From 2018 through 2023, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved 29 applications for Ramaswamy’s former company, Roivant Sciences, to hire employees under H-1B visas, which allow U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in tech and other specialized jobs. Yet, the H-1B system is “bad for everyone involved,” Ramaswamy told POLITICO.”

e) Always an aggrieved victim, Vivek invents a “protest ramming” when someone backs into his vacant rental car.

f) Slick Vivek defends himself.

g) Summing it up…

h) “Young people don’t really believe the things they think they do.”

i) 250 years of freedom thanks to AK 47s?
