He was telling people what they wanted to hear and copying Trump’s rhetoric. I don’t believe anyone was falling for it, guy adapts his behavior to scheme and gain power. He’d talk to the right but then we all know he’d reward his Indian friends despite all the Great Replacement is real talk. Vivek is a fraud.
Yes; it is all painfully clear. He parrots a catechism of right-wing slogans, drilled into him by habit rather than reason; “free markets,” “work ethic,” and the like; yet when pressed, he cannot explain what they mean, nor how they conduce to the common good, nor how they restrain power rather than flatter it.
He proclaims himself a “free-market man,” and in the very next breath proposes that the state should shovel public capital into Ohio to anoint it an industrial capital of the Midwest. This contradiction is not subtle; it is foundational. It betrays an ignorance of first principles; namely, that governments are notoriously incompetent stewards of capital, and that their interventions more often breed malinvestment, inflation, and corruption than prosperity. But then, thats what India looks like. A feudal place where to scam and grift is seen as moral (might is right) and government is in fact the biggest perpetrator of fraud, keeping their entire economy backwards and depressed. But he will do it differently here in Ohio?
That a record of hyping and abandoning a failed pharmaceutical venture should now be offered as evidence of fitness for statecraft is a presumption so vast it borders on parody. The pretense is astonishing; the confidence inversely proportional to the merit.
And yet Americans are invited to take this seriously. Why? Because the performance is loud, the slogans familiar, and the scrutiny absent. It is all remarkably transparent; and more remarkable still is how many choose not to see through it. He's just another cheap, scammy Indian looking to get ahead of others by any means necessary and then hold them down for generations. Again, in India there at 2.8 billion castes; every individual is either actively being oppressed or is actively trying to oppress e
very single other Indian in their country. Its laughable.
