Ohio's Vivek Ramaswamy ignites firestorm over American 'mediocrity,' 'Saved by the Bell'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Greater Cincinnati native and Donald Trump ally Vivek Ramaswamy ignited a firestorm Thursday with a social media post denouncing American culture's "mediocrity," several TV characters from 1990s sitcoms, and too much "chillin'." Ramaswamy, who along with billionaire Elon Musk was tapped by the incoming president to head a "Department of Government Efficiency," took to the Musk-owned social media network X to ostensibly opine why tech companies hire foreign-born engineers.
35% : The debate illustrated a divide between the MAGA base, many of which want to restrict all immigration, and Silicon Valley tech billionaires who supported Trump and hope to continue to bring in immigrant talent, especially for engineering.
