Overview
- In a New York Times op-ed, the Ohio gubernatorial candidate argues a rising Groyper current is pushing a white‑centric, ancestry‑based identity that conflicts with a belief‑based American ideal.
- He cites waves of racist abuse directed at him online, including anti‑Indian slurs and calls for deportation, as evidence that ancestry politics is spreading on the right.
- Ramaswamy calls on Republicans to condemn Groypers without hedging, saying anyone praising Hitler or using ethnic slurs has no place in the conservative movement.
- To counter radicalization, he proposes affordability measures such as eliminating local land‑use restrictions, offering stock options to young people, easing tax burdens, and creating a $10,000 S&P 500‑invested 'American dream birthright.'
- He also urges a unifying national project, suggesting a lunar base to revive shared purpose and STEM education, and he drew public support from figures like Sen. Rick Scott.
