Ramaswamy does not Define Americanism

Politico has a long article about how Ohio Republicans like Vivek Ramaswamy for some pro-Trump and other views, but not for his race, religion, and wealth.

This does not identify the problem.

Ramaswamy claims the authority to define what it means to be American. He presents himself as personifying the American dream. He justifies importing Indian workers as being better than inferior Americans.

No, he got rich from being a con man. Not from hard work, or creating new products, or addressing new markets. He made his money by tricking investors into buying into a worthless product.

This is not the American dream. He does not speak for Americans. His description of what it means to be American is wrong and offensive.
