I think JD is pretty in tune with what goes on in social media. He had a statement a week or two addressing some of this.
LINK

But, it's going to be difficult for him to distance himself too far from Trump. Plus, he has the Thiel stink on him.

The Thiel stink is one concern, given that the tech industry is the largest beneficiary of H1bs

The other is that JD is married to an Indian, and 71% of H1Bs are Indians, so it's going be really hard for him to sell himself as being anti H1B to Gen Z, who want those jobs H1Bs are taking.

I understand she was born in America, but the optics still could hurt him.

So everyone in this thread plans to vote for Gav in 28?

We are going to need a full on crumble of the government before we can be reborn again by the people or AI and robots.

Man, your inability to call a spade a spade is fascinating.

It's all truly surface-level for you, isn't it?

This is where there is NASTY potential in 2028. You couldn't pick a worse variable given the climate and fringe feeling it's their time to get validation.

Yes. He is a fan of Trump. That's it.

He openly mocks traditional conservatism both in terms of culture and economics.

He never argues policy or principles.

You can tell which groups currently have Trump's ear by which policies he is spouting at the time. I bet he has Elon, David Sacks, and others like him currently telling him what to do.

Correct, and when you promote a socialist-based message (populism), you better deliver, or you're not going to like what happens to those left out.


I’d argue the flip side - watching the “mob” at places like UC-B, Antifa attacks on ICE Agents, AOC/Hakeem/Newsome/Mamdami, message that illegals take priority over US citizens, etc. doesn’t align with many of them either.

Giving DC majority back to Dems is literally our Country committing suicide.

Bro nobody is talking about Leftists/DEMs in this thread, and they aren't really relevant. Trying to divert discussion to the out group ignores the OP entirely.

Then Trump needs to stop fricking it up

Include Thiel and you have the Paypal Mafia, which I expect is going to become a much more popular term for the content creator industry on the right who are on the side against H1Bs and/or Big Tech.

*ETA: but if you read the article on Trump's 50-year mortgage idea, it doesn't take an insider to get him to promote something. Just show up with a policy proposal and a picture comparing Trump to a person people consider great and that alone is enough to get him on board, apparently.

Calling what a spade?

The 50yr mortgage melt is my favorite
The 15yr car loan was fake
Our education system sucks so we need talent. A libtard who hates you losing a job to a brown doesnt bother me. 97% didnt watch that interview

The syrian leader? Didnt even know he was here

What else am i supposed to be outraged about again?

Gold in the WH? We wont be talking about any of this in 2weeks and the panicans will have moved on to the new melt

Rinse and repeat

The only news I know about is Dems caved and we have a pathetic loser in Paul holding it up cause of Hemp. Or did that get worked out

Maybe the blind MAGA’s of the board will wisen up. Doubtful however.

Milk is down $0.03! I’m in a group of several former MAGA train riders who has buckled down and watched my spending the past several months.

This thing is gonna implode.
