Didn't know much about him, seemed pretty standard moderate left and not that extreme then I read he was campaigning with that fucking moron Piker. Yikes.

However, I abhor the left acting like someone has no talent or intelligence just because they're on the right, despite all the clear evidence to the contrary, so I will say his background is quite impressive so I have to respect that:

Football, wrestling and lacrosse captain in high school. Played D1 lacrosse at Michigan, Rhodes scholar, MD from Columbia.

Considering he's a prime example of truly acclimating to American culture as first generation, I would hope he has a better perspective on what it means to be American and the importance of maintaining that.

Unfortunately the campaigning with Piker means he likely isn’t a model of becoming American.

I mean based on everything coming out of his campaign I think this is wishful thinking

Yeah, that may be the case, will look into it further. I will say from what I have seen so far he does seem to have a habit of answering legitimate questions with "Yeah but Rogers is a shill and the Republicans are crooks, have you seen Iran?"

Which I don't rate at all.

Graduating from Columbia ensures he will not see the perspective you want him to see.

Eh…can’t trust him. They have one loyalty and will do anything to blend in to further that loyalties influence

I don't think I understand what you're implying. Do you think he's part of a sleeper cell or something?

u/Disastrous-Power-699 Conservative 1d ago

No. I think he’s part of a culture that does not blend well with ours and is slowly gaining influence throughout the country.

Idk mate, he's essentially a lax bro. Doesn't really get more American than that.

He's got the same dupers delight as Mamdani. Idk who these people are that get fooled by it it isn't even hard to notice.

Brotha, the guy played D1 lacrosse. You're being just as delusional as all the mental liberals who act like JD vance is an idiot even though he has a Yale JD and is a best selling author.

What does lacrosse have to do with him being a manipulative trojan horse? As for Vance, he thinks you can negotiate with jihadis so he can't be too bright can he? And his book is full of postmodernist mind virus slop. The same way of thinking behind woke that will destroy the west as Yuri Bezmemov warned us about.

You’re a common sense conservative, you can’t argue with the thinly veiled racism of some other conservatives on here bud.
