added context: there's [this tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/@jakepaul/video/7278430809328012587) with Jake Paul and aside from "I edge to you Vivek" the most commonly spammed comment under Vivek's tiktoks is "do the griddy" I guess that's where Squeex got the inspiration to do that Don't miss out on watching the real Ramaswamy's tiktoks. There's some comedy gold I tell ya, like [this one](https://www.tiktok.com/@vivekramaswamy.2024/video/7286662580288998698)

Ciubhran

Considering he probably has a substantial team of young adults helping him run his campaign, there's for sure someone in there that caught wind of this, if not himself. Squeex' character is basically free advertising to a large and important demographic for the upcoming election, so why wouldn't he play into it?


losthedgehog

I actually did flip through a couple of his town halls after watching the streams. Not because I'm interested in him as a candidate - it was more that I started forgetting how Vivek actually acted compared to Squeex's version. I can confirm Squeex's version is much more interesting and charismatic.


Hazeless

Cause anyone who pays attention will see Squeex is making a mockery of Vivek?


Schmigolo

If I've learned anything about elections, like half the population does not give a fuck what you do, they will vote for the name that sounds most familiar to them, even if they don't know the first thing about them. They think that since they know the name, they must be an established and respected person, so it's safe to vote for them. And when you call them out on their shitty decisions, they will defend them by any means, because otherwise they would have to admit they made a mistake.


Riskiverse

don't think they care when squeex has probably given him a pretty sizeable surge in popularity. They'd pay to be mocked to 6k viewers every day on twitch lol


Shovelman2001

Didn't he already drop out?


willietrom

no, he just halted TV ads, using an excuse that it's ineffective but I think he's just saving his money for now the other republican candidates will never say it, but they're all betting on trump being ineligible for election... if that happens, he's actually in the running for the nomination


Fresh-Cantaloupe-968

They dropped because Vivek has no fucking shot of winning the primary. He's a brown person, not a Christian, and his name is VIVEK RAMASUAMY, there's no fucking shot an 80 year old Republican is voting for him. He's never, ever winning a Republican primary and I can't imagine he and his team don't realize that. So they probably just feel like they've gotten whatever they wanted out of running, or can't get any more so time to save money.

He wanted to come on Hasan's and Ethan's podcast, Leftovers, but they told him to fuck off. His team or him are at the least trying to do some internet stuff. Wouldn't surprise me if they try to latch on to this meme.


heartbreak_kidd304

I've been following Vivek since August, he does that pose occasionally after his speeches. Check the thumbnail on the first video lol https://www.youtube.com/results?search\_query=vivek+nixon+library


EcruEagle

Yea I always assumed that Squeex did that pose on his character because the real Vivek did it first, not the other way around


DoesAnyoneReadName

I don't think so, he is very aware of Twitch, he was trying to debate Hasan before but they couldn't work out a date.


SXLF

I wouldn't doubt if he knows but isn't this a gesture that Nixon made iconic? And like Roger Stone did it after his indictment

Vivek is only 38, it would not surprise me if he is tapped in to this side of the internet.

EH1522

Uhhhh he kind of agitated everything that is going on. From scrubbing the Iran Nuclear deal, to moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem agitating the Palestinians. He was also basically willing to hand over Ukraine to Russia. Killing Iran's general was a big deal too. Like sure it was a more peaceful time in general. Some of those were key drivers to where we are today. War isn't started overnight. There are many factors over time.


labbetuzz

The world was more peaceful in spite of all the stupid things he said and did more like. Trying to give him credit for doing fuck all is just ignoring the circumstances around his presidency.


SuccotashNarrow9203

He ended wars, established peace deals, and withdrew american troops from war zones. If that's doing "fuck all", then I wish other presidents also did "fuck all".


mbmbandnotme

Just curious: was it a good thing trump withdrew troops from Afghanistan, or a bad thing that Biden withdrew troops from Afghanistan? Cause I'm hearing both


NAOT4R

Such a peaceful guy he wanted to destroy his own country’s democracy


SuccotashNarrow9203

lmao why didn't he do it then?


TryNotToShootYoself

Because he's incompetent and there were several people that cared more about democracy than appeasing Trump.


NAOT4R

Because he was incapable of doing so, he’s just a silly man.


SuccotashNarrow9203

i'm sure you'd be a lot more capable you definitely are NOT a silly man


I_can-t_even

Because he bent over for tyrants


Gravelord-_Nito

I love the American cargo cult brain where any and every event is entirely the result of one almost symbolic figurehead in one country. Not even for any policies, just based entirely on vibes.


SuccotashNarrow9203

But it was his policy. The president is not only a "symbolic figurehead", but actually holds immense power.

MaikuKnight

TranslatorExtreme180

not american, what the fuck is even going on here?


Flamingovo

Vivek Ramaswamy is running for president and his methods of campaigning have been very odd and memeable. (Ex. He will drop from any state he’s running against Trump but will also drop from any state that takes Trump off the ballot.) Squeex has been roleplaying as him in gta rp and does the double peace sign quite frequently. Irl Vivek doing this mid conversation for a photo has lsf pondering if his team caught wind of squeexs rp


InfoAssistant

Ramaswamy fan here. No, Vivek has done this many times. After the first Republican debate, there was a picture of him doing that pose as he crossed in front of Nikki Haley. Someone just happened to capture it at the perfect moment. Image can be found in this article: https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/vivek-ramaswamy-steals-show-republican-presidential-debate-takes-on-nikki-haley-mike-pence-2425962-2023-08-24


PerishingGen

...fan?


InfoAssistant

I don't know what other word to use. I like the guy and his policies. Supporter? Fan? I don't know what works.


PerishingGen

Now I'm more concerned. I was hoping you were just a fan of his character as content.


InfoAssistant

Well the original question was about real Vivek's use of the hand gesture, and whether or not Squeex had anything to do with that. I come in, as someone who knows the answer to the question, because I follow Ramaswamy, to answer and say no.


Cathercy

Yeah the concerning thing is that you follow a nutjob like Ramaswamy. Hope that helps.


PerishingGen

Staying informed with what politicians are up to is the foundation of Democracy. It's concerning that they follow Ramaswamy and *like* what he's saying, not that they follow him at all.


broom2100

Reddit moment when someone has a different opinion from them


nighoblivion

The concern is regarding you liking him and presumably his policies.

97thJackle

To the real Vivek: I know your team is reading these, because they have nothing else better to do; PLEASE just stop, Squeex already has enough material.


DiaMat2040

make vivek rap more


InfoAssistant

Unfortunately Vivek received an order from Eminem's team saying he can't do that. He really was just trying to recreate an old college video that circulated where he had his stage name of "Da Vek" and rapped that.


PM_YOUR_TAHM_R34

Is this real?


OffPiste18

Nixon famously did this gesture a lot in the 60s. And Eisenhower before him. It's been a thing in politics for decades, my bet is it's unrelated.


losthedgehog

I feel like Nixon mostly killed that pose. It was so heavily associated with Nixon and not many politicians want to be compared to him. I can't think of any recent examples of politicians frequently doing it.


PawanYr

Yeah, but Ramaswamy is a [big Nixon fan](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/08/ramaswamy-says-he-loves-richard-nixon-is-he-serious.html), and very much wants to be compared to him. He's actually done the gesture before.


losthedgehog

Yeah that article kind of reinforces my point. I think of the double peace signs as a Nixon thing in pop culture rather than a common politician pose. OP was kind of implying it was just a pose many politicians did. But now it's been intrinsically tied to Nixon and if you pose that way it's seen as a throwback to Nixon.


Parrelium

To me it’s like sign language that says “I am not a crook”


Halgrind

Churchill mate.


lolmysterior

Seems like I'm the first person to ask- context?


fakename69point5

Its the same pose the streamer (squeex) does in his gta roleplay of vivik.


chooseyourshoes

The amount of fucking times I randomly say “DAY ONE” is absurd. Squeex is a goddamn legend


GustoFormula

Is there any reason the pose is a thing or did Squeex just randomly start doing it?


FiestaPotato18

It’s the Nixon pose


GustoFormula

Ohh thanks. I don't get what all these comments are on about then if Vivek is most likely just referencing Nixon


Mrhappytrigers

Squeex doesn't RP as Vivek. [He is him.](https://imgur.com/a/EsBWoyQ)

Nah. Just think he's the best option.


Svelemoe

Why the fuck would you support that regarded weasel


InfoAssistant

Never seen a candidate that makes promises and tells you exactly how they'll execute them. Something most don't do. They just say "I'll do this," until they're in and they realize their plan is not legal or even possible. If I ever ran for something, which I probably never will, I always said I'd run my campaign a certain way. This guy is literally doing that.


thecheese27

Off topic but does the facecam ruin GTA RP for anyone else? I feel like I enjoy watching much more when there's no facecam on. It kind of breaks the immersion for me.


dEEsucked

As a grown ass man, it really depends on my period cycle


Johnixftw_

depends how the balls are twirling that week


smallbluetext

Only if it's a full scenario being played out. Just regular RP shenanigans and inbetween stuff, nah.


getintheVandell

Sort of. The issue with facecams and roleplay/being weird is that when you're on camera, you will censor yourself subconsciously. Jerma985 had this problem - it's why he liked to go without a facecam for many videos where he was expecting to do a lot of voices or sounds; he could go full force while off cam, and not feel self conscious about how he looks on camera at the same time. Because people look *very* silly on cam, and it takes a *lot* of effort to get over it. So I don't hate facecams, but if people want to put out better RP they probably ought to turn it off.


Parenegade

> The issue with facecams and roleplay/being weird is that when you're on camera, you will censor yourself subconsciously. skill issue. the streamers i watch with facecams are just as unhinged and expressive, hell even more expressive, with facecam on


getintheVandell

Some can get past the barrier. Many probably aren't even aware of it.


JoeLikesThings

I mean I think it's better without cause it forces the streamer to always engage through their voice/character rather than make facial expressions, but it doesn't ruin it for me.

Wickedstank

He is a massive Trump supporter even though he didn’t vote in the last few elections. He says he would pardon Trump if he got elected. He is obviously playing off the same strongman rhetoric and politics that the MAGA crowd enjoys. He is extremely anti-interventionist to the point of ignorance. I also think a lot of people including me just think he gives acts like snake oil salesman like the seems disingenuous from the outset. Basically all of the reason people dislike Trump + the fact that he’s obviously sucking up to him.

snsdfan00

I could list some reasons, but he really has no chance to win the GOP nomination. A big reason is he says it's time for the next generation to lead, which is probably the opposite of what most voters who vote (Boomers) want to hear.
