re: By insulting American culture is Vivek’s political career over?

Aint nobody going to remember this two months from now.

Yeah those tweets are going to be tossed in his face anytime he has to win a primary in the GOP along with his time at the Soros Institute.

Is he dead? No.

Is that two strikes against someone with zero political track record to balance it against? Yes.

Because MAGA pretends it can blend the 2 populations

The coalition was brought together for a singular purpose: win the election. Now that goal has been achieved the Big Tech side now wants Trump to deliver on more H1Bs that the MAGA base never wanted.

I do appreciate Vivek and Elon bringing this fight to a head. It’s kind of needed and actually healthy.

This is the SDV theory of MAGA

It's not very popular on here right now.

If "the MAGA base" had a policy preference, then the coalition had more than just SDV theory of winning the election being the "policy" goal.

The only 2 things this has done are: (1) identifying different MAGA factions and their personal desires (2) showing MAGA is a movement without policies or principles (leading to 1 being possible)

I mean that perhaps a new party that combines the best of both worlds that benefit both (to a degree) should emerge.

It cannot without major friction.

The only way it can, is the way MAGA did, where no policies or principles were involved. Once they win, and the various factions describe how they see "MAGA", you get this conflict. 2 major schisms in 2 weeks, with many more to come.

You had dumbass MAGA NPCs on here calling Chip Roy and Thomas Massie "RINOs" for showing principles in decreasing federal spending

Instead, what we have is a constant eternal tug of war of who can extract more from who (which is easier for sure), but the harder thing would be effectively to have a collective bargaining (at a much larger scale) that helps both parties.

This is the Democrat theory of management-labor, FWIW. Straight out of the Bernie playbook.

quote:

It was the trade union movement that built the middle class in this country, and it is the trade union movement that is going to rebuild the middle class in America once again.

In order to strengthen America’s middle class, a Bernie Sanders administration will make it a priority to restore workers’ rights to bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. That is what the Workplace Democracy plan is all about.

There is no doubt that union membership is good for workers: union workers earn 22 percent more, on average, than non-union workers. In America today, 72 percent of union workers have a defined benefit pension plan that guarantees an income in retirement compared to just 14 percent of non-union workers. Union workers are also half as likely to be victims of health and safety violations or of wage theft and 18 percent more likely to have health coverage.

Declining unionization has fueled rising inequality. Today, corporate profits are at an all-time high, while wages as a percentage of the economy are near an all-time low. The middle class is disappearing, and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider and wider.

There are many reasons for the growing inequality in our economy, but one of the most significant reasons for the disappearing middle class is that the rights of workers to join together and bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions have been severely undermined.

Well shite you got me, today I learned I have some things in common with Bernie Bros

It's not even about "getting" you.

MAGA/AF/Trump have ALWAYS relied on leftist economics to get support from the "labor" faction.

It's just now that discussion has moved from lessers (faceless white people from a halcyon view of the Midwest who need inefficient manufacturing jobs, who have been typically associated with unions for decades) to the educated/professional/credentialed class (who have been more of a "natural" Republican group for decades).

When faced with the economic realities of a society they don't want to keep up with, they revert to the same Leftism as the union baws. This comes as a major internal intellectual consistency issue, especially since they see themselves as different than the lesser MAGA types (who are more useful idiots and NPCs to repeat the messages the professional MAGA types create).

Now you have the educated/professional class arguing for collective bargaining, governmental intrusion into markets, and concepts like living wages.

This is the same shite I've been talking about since 2016 re: MAGA. Just now it's tactile with a real example to discuss.

Ok. Keep telling Americans that they are worthless and lazy. Let's see how that works.

Next, say that most trailer park trash support Trump. Burn it all down!

The same people saying this spend every day telling us how worthless 50% of America is.

Then Vivek says something similar and the same people that say the same thing are losing their minds.
