Current Events > Ramaswamy's Ten 'Truths'

(+) Yeah! (+)

1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.

How many do you think aren't bullshit pandering with a barely concealed agenda?

There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.

I would say, on average, republican politicians are too educated and wealthy to believe most of the shit they run on. They are mostly just highly anti-social, so they just don't give a fuck if their rhetoric leads to harm, death even, as long as it puts them in office.

What is this refering to?

Who are people saying is the 4th? And what would it mean if they are?

The fourth estate, or fourth branch of the government is the media.

Then I suspect it's his way of saying "the liberal media should not have the power it does!"
(Ignoring the fact it's not liberal, but that's to be expected.)

Is this a fucking parody?

1. shouldn't ever be an issue for a politician. It's Christian Nationalist pandering
2. is an attack on trans people
3. Is climate change disregard
4. Is pandering to those people who feel equity as oppression
5. Is bullshit fearmongering, as there is no open border
6. Is code for book bans, CRT nonsense, and Don't Say Gay
7. Is traditionalist nonsense that tries to conceal a misogynist and anti gay marriage agenda
8. Is a plea for campaign funds while letting billionaires know that tax cuts are coming
9. I don't know what point he's making, help me out
10. Is patriotic pablum with a nod to support for 2A

I mean, 9 is just stating fact, we have three branches in the federal government. Executive, Judiciary, and legislative.

What's 9 even refer to?

12. Trump won the last election

Right?

1. Can neither be proven or disproven and as such is irrelevant.
2. Genders are fundamentally social constructs. There have been societies with more than 2.
3. It required, not requires. Tense is important. You need easy fossil fuels to get things going, but can then replace them.
4. True.
5. Are borders even needed though?
6. Parents should set the floor, while children should decide the ceiling. Education is for the childs benefit, as such while a parent can require a child to learn something, they have no right to prevent a child from learning something.
7. It is actually pretty weak. Which is why it is so common. By reducing kinship from extensive clan systems to just parents and children, you make people more willing to follow external governance.
8. True. Please note that this does not mean it eliminates poverty. It simply means it results in less poverty than in comparison to worse Economic structures.
9. ??? Who is saying there is 4?
10. On the basis that one could do better fairly easily, I will say this is hopefully false.

God is real.

11. To deny any of these truths means going to a re-education camp

Right?

It cracks me up that this guy thinks he's gonna win the nomination of a party whose base think he's subhuman.

There are two sexes

He has to know that the GOP will never elect a POC (with a foreign sounding name) that is Hindu and is vegan, right?

He's Hindu, so which God does he think is real?

2: false (There are two sexes, gender and sex are not the same thing)

Nah
