Overview
- In a New York Times op-ed published Wednesday, Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy warns that the Groyper movement’s identitarian politics threaten conservative unity.
- He calls on Republicans to condemn Nick Fuentes and to exclude figures who praise Hitler or use racist slurs from the conservative movement.
- Ramaswamy argues that American identity is credal rather than ancestral, saying the two competing visions on the right are incompatible.
- He recounts anti-Indian slurs and deportation taunts directed at him online as proof that a white‑centric worldview is gaining influence.
- To counter radicalization, he proposes economic and civic initiatives including a $10,000 “American dream birthright” invested in the S&P 500, housing and tax reforms, and a unifying national project such as building a base on the Moon.
