#VivekRamaswamy admits no one likes #Republican policies, says “We got our asses handed to us tonight,” and offers them advice on how to win in the future. It's adorable that he thinks they can even remember his NAME, let alone hear the words coming out of his mouth. You were a means to an end...

"Vivek—a man who never stops talking—has now gone completely quiet.

It’s been 42 days, and there is no record that the self-proclaimed 'first' and 'most vocal' proponent of releasing the list has said a word about releasing the list now. And counter to his fiery rhetoric about lies and corruption only two years ago, he hasn’t said a word about the lies and corruption taking place right now that are part of a government-wide cover-up."

"If there was one thing Vivek Ramaswamy made absolutely clear when he ran for president, it was that he would release the Epstein Files.

We’re talking a year’s worth of bold and loud promises.

Throughout that campaign, nothing was more clear than that he planned, as he said, 'to expose the Epstein client list.'

'No one will be spared,' Vivek promised.

Last December, a tiff erupted between billionaire entrepreneurs #ElonMusk & #VivekRamaswamy, on the one side, & #MAGA champions including #SteveBannon, over the formers’ claims that #H1B workers are needed because the homegrown #tech workforce is inadequate. But almost as quickly as it started, the spat vanished from the news.

Along with the tech-centric WhatsApp groups Krishnan had organized out of a16z,
Andreessen joined a slew of others,
including ones that Torenberg set up for tech founders and for more political discussions.

The tech chats tended to be on WhatsApp and the political ones on Signal, which is more fully encrypted,
and they had different settings.

(“Every group chat ends up being about memes and humor and the goal of the group chat is to get as close to the line of being actually objectionable without tripping it,” Andreessen told Fridman.

“People will set to 5 minutes before they send something particularly inflammatory.“)

After a group of liberal intellectuals published a letter in Harper’s on July 7, 2020, some of its signers were invited to join a Signal group called “Everything Is Fine.”

There, writers including #Kmele #Foster, who co-hosts the podcast
"The Fifth Column", Persuasion founder #Yascha #Mounk, and the Harper’s letter contributor Williams joined Andreessen and a group that also included the anti-woke conservative activist #Chris #Rufo.

The new participants were charmed by Andreessen’s engagement:
“He was the most available, the most present, the most texting of anybody in the group
— which shocked me because it seemed like he was the most important person in the group,” one said.

But the center didn’t hold.

The liberal Harper’s types were surprised to find what one described an
“illiberal worldview” among tech figures more concerned with power than speech.

The conservatives found the liberal intellectuals tiresome, committed to what Rufo described to me as “infinite discourse” over action.

The breaking point came on July 5, 2021, when Foster and Williams,
along with the never-Trump conservative #David #French and the liberal academic #Jason #Stanley,
wrote a New York Times op-ed criticizing new laws against teaching “critical race theory.”

“Even if this censorship is legal in the narrow context of public primary and secondary education,
it is antithetical to educating students in the culture of American free expression,”
they wrote.

The conservatives had thought the Harper’s letter writers were their allies in an all-out ideological battle,
and considered their position a betrayal.

Andreessen “went really ballistic in a quite personal way at Thomas,”
a participant recalled.

The group ended after Andreessen “wrote something along the lines of
‘thank you everybody, I think it’s time to take a Signal break,’” another said.

The meltdown of this liberal-tech alliance was, to #Rufo, a healthy development.

“A lot of these technologists hoped that the centrist path was a viable one, because it would permit them in theory to change the culture without having to expose themselves to the risk of becoming partisans,”
he said.

“By 2021, the smartest people in tech understood that these people were a dead end
— so the group chats exploded and reformulated on more explicitly political lines.”

Rufo had been there all along:
“I looked at these chats as a good investment of my time to radicalize tech elites who I thought were the most likely and high-impact new coalition partners for the right.”

@berlinfokus #Grimes called her child Paul Atreides (i.e. a chosen one, tasked with becoming a great leader): “When I see X,” she said to Vanity Fair, “like, I just know X is going to have to go through all this really fucked-up shit that sort of mirrors Paul-type stuff. I was just crying my eyes out the whole movie.”

Grimes *says* she doesn't support "the far alt right" (v. ambiguous) and doesn't want her children publicly posted. But previous statements and actions indicate this is not true. She went to a $50,000 per head dinner in support of #vivekramaswamy (https://www.reddit.com/r/grimezs/comments/1j06953/claire_grimes_went_to_50000_per_head_dinner_in), as well as a #MAGA inauguration party with #Yarvin and #CurtisYarvin's wedding. She has actually consistently supported MAGA and also said she likes the #patriarchy.

I feel bad for the kids. Nobody else. #Musk #Doge #abolishdoge

Why in the fuck am I seeing political ads for Ohio governor when we don't vote on it until November 2026 and the Republicans aren't even voting in the primary for it until over a year from now?!?! Can we get a fucking break please?

#fucktheright #vivekramaswamy #ohio #prematurity

@meowski @interfluidity Nope. #TedCruz and #MarcoRubio knew how to work the system since they were already elected officers, and the same could likely be said of #MikeHuckabee. #VivekRamaswamy was no less qualified in 2024 than #Trump was in 2016, the real reason people in the #GOP didn’t like him was either 1) they were in the #MAGA cult and didn’t feel like they could turn away from #Trump 2) they were antivaxx 3) they were racist.

The idea that #Trump was the only one who could have put all the pieces together is a bit absurd. “I alone can fix it” is the line that’s only 100% convincing from within the framework of the #MAGA cult.

@meowski @interfluidity There are plenty of people other than #Trump who would have stemmed the bleeding in that regard. The #GOP field in 2016 and 2024 were chock full of them.

I will forever be disappointed that the #GOP chose #Trump over the likes of #TedCruz, #MarcoRubio, #BenCarson, #VivekRamaswamy, #MikeHuckabee, etc.
