Vivek Ramaswamy's approach in business and politics is the same: Confidence, no matter the scenario
A political novice and one of the world’s wealthiest millennials, Vivek Ramaswamy has waged a whirlwind presidential campaign mirroring his meteoric rise as a biotech entrepreneur. On everything from deporting people born in the United States to ending aid to Israel and Ukraine, he consistently displays the bravado of a populist, self-declared outsider.
“I stand on the side of revolution,” he declares. “That’s what I’m going to lead in a way that no establishment politician can.”
In business and politics, though, Ramaswamy has run into skeptics and sometimes hard facts that threatened to derail his ambitions. In the 2024 campaign, the Israel-Hamas war has refocused the Republican primary on foreign policy and exposed just how much Ramaswamy’s self-declared revolutionary approach puts him at odds with the party’s most powerful figures and many of its voters.
Being a loud obnoxious twatwaffle ≠ confidence
He's got the confidence of a frat bro. He talks clearly, loudly, and quickly.
Ramaswamy is dangerous. He's not going to win this election, but the fact that he's gotten so much attention is dangerous. I remember at the beginning, during the first GOP debates, he was all smiles and positivity. His poll numbers started going down and now the last interview I saw with him he starts being aggressive and yelling. I think he's trying to go the angry dictator route now and it's a bad sign that these types of politicians are getting attention.
Fascism is right around the corner
It is to his base. He knows how to sell to them.
He definitely does. At each debate, he continuously strings together right wing buzzwords like "woke" and "Russia hoax" into incoherent paragraphs and every time he says a new buzzword, the audience applauds.
They really are the dumbest people.
But have you heard me rap like a 12yo white boy from the suburbs?
