God was real big on nation states in the Bible. That's what the whole King of King things was about, religious supplication to your political leaders before you worry about God. Right?

When did the Founding Fathers get "Send You To Hell" powers? And isn't Vivek really Hindu? None of this seems linked to the Hindu concept of the afterlife and reincarnation.

what sacrifices did *they* make for this country? it was built with *my* ancestors' labor lmfao

Him trying to come up with a lane to run in that makes him appealing to people that don't find him appealing for awful reasons leaves him in cuckoo bananas territory.

Too reductive. "Afterlife" CAN be reincarnation, it can also be heaven / hell (and there are multiple tiers of these), or even complete extinction without anything after the death. Depends on which particular track, if any, that he subscribes to. All this = there are MANY options he could face !

We sacrificed for comity, Vivek. Oh, we longed to throttle you and shout at you what an ass you are, yet we restrain ourselves, all in the name of comity.

if Ben Franklin is in heaven and I'm in hell does he like take a half hour a day to come down there and berate everybody he thinks ruined America?

In this framing it is reasonable to expect Republicans will end up with the slaveholders.

These guys were some of the most enlightened minds of their generation and still chose to own slaves, none of them are anywhere close to escaping Samsara

I think in this scenario, Ben Franklin says, "I see you couldn't keep it."

I've never apologized for a pedophile or stole from my country. I was also a loyal and loving husband, supported my kids without judgment, and never resented another person's success. If that isn't enough for the cover charge of wherever the fuck I'm going, I have no interest in being there.

Isn't vivek Hindu? Bro you're getting reincarnated as a hemorrhoid not chatting with slavers in hell

Vivek must be on drugs

Well I considered getting vaccinated against COVID, but then I got nervous about possible long term side effects and I've never liked needles, so...

“Also, are there any British spies for me to cozy up to?”

At least Ramaswamy can see that he and the rest of MAGA will be burning in Hell alongside Jefferson.

I think I'd ask them to explain why they kept slaves

Tom Paine would kick every MAGA ass that came through the gate. (He would be over the surprise of Heaven existing by now.) (I don’t care if he’s not on the official list: he’s a founding father to me!)

Best piece of dialog I've read in a while !! You brought a big smile to me. 💯💙🤣👍🙏

Well, if you really wanna get technical about it from a Christian point of view (since that's what this supposed HINDU is claiming here) Vivek is gonna have A LOT more to be judged for than even his recent reprehensible activities, although that's more than worthy of the Hellfire by itself.

Franklin would be cool for the most part, although he would have a ton of very uncomfortably specific questions about "Quakeress porn"

Your screen name is a scream ! 🤣

💯

99% of us aren't making ads that focus on a child being raped. I think Vivek is the one who should worry if there's an afterlife

😮 Horror !

The Founding Fathers would slap the shit out of that Nazi.

If Ramaswamy faces the founding fathers in the afterlife, my guess is that it will take them a good long time to even understand what Ramaswamy did with his recent attack ad. And then they'll beat him with a sock full of nickels.

Patriotism should have the same guilt structure as religion 

In what reality do I die, go to the other side, meet the founding fathers and not whoop their asses??? Answers? Bitch, it’s actually on sight.

Jefferson made his own translation of the bible!

He's also a total ASSHOLE (IYKYK)

I came here to tell you that I did that.

Also to me, person of any non-majority ethnicity/religion who ignores said ethnicity/religion for power.

Spot on, @asharangappa.bsky.social ! Alas, he's not in the least funny to have that label even as a joke !

In the most encyclopedic picture ever of the afterlife, a living person (Dante) gets to berate a denizen of Hell (the emperor Constantine) for having conferred temporal authority over Italy on the Papacy. So if your text is the Divine Comedy, it works the other way around.

It's technically not the type of afterlife conservative Christian constituents believe in either. Even though you're judged in the afterlife, it's only supposed to be God that does the judging. This appears to be some American technocrat afterlife where you're judged by the former rich elites.

Lol I know that one from former co workers

Reminds me of a certain Googly Eyes Gentleman going on about “See you in Valhalla.”

Try the urban dictionary.

Google will tell you but you need to be specific, like “hindu abcd acronym”. That got me to the answer

Like he and Kirk are going anywhere other than Gre'thor.

Shiny and chrome?

The fucking slavers better not ask me a gawd damn thing

in hell everyone with mar-a-lago face will be even more chopped

He's committed to using this election as his path to self-immolation.

Founding fathers raped enslaved teens legally

There's no NEED for dental. NEXT !

Tell GW about cell phones, Emancipation and Netflix and watch him short circuit.

Somehow I don't think the Founders would be pleased when Vivek answers that he sacrificed the constitutional order they built to enable the despotism and corruption they expressly wanted to prevent.

Heck, Franklin would sit down w/you over a beer.

I must have missed that line in the Constitution where it says "Thou shalt have no other gods before us."

💯

Not all varieties of them believe in reincarnation.

Oh Ben Franklin doesn’t like me? Bonnie Dick hates me oh no.

To quote Chuck D: Look and find nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check

Ben Franklin would be quite pleased with people in 2026 not giving a shit what he thinks of them.

I’m going to guess that Ramaswamy likely has a pretty different conception of the afterlife than most Americans do.

I don’t think the Devil allows you to speak. “Be quiet, Piggy!”

Not all, just most. Apparently there were 12 or 15 who didn't own slaves.

What a shitty afterlife - having to ask everyone what sacrifice they made for their country.

When you're so bad at human interactions that you attack a twelve-year-old rape victim as a liar--and let's be clear, that's what he's doing, this was documented when she was twelve--and then you say something like this to salvage your pathetic campaign, you deserve to live and die alone.

In Vivik's conception of heaven the slaveholders still hold dominion over the masses. Why else would we have to answer to them. Wouldn't that make us ... subjects and slaves?

As a Hindu, Vivek may have something there

Ben Franklin would probably be a fan and try his hand at creating some hentai. After all, he has decades of real life international brothel customer experience to draw from.

the only thing ben franklin's gonna be mad at anyone about in the afterlife is "not being a parisian prostitute"

Tommy J: wait, since when were you allowed to vote, nm run for office?

These idiots REALLLLLY need to study actual history and not the Christ-washed bullshit that evangelicals have falsely peddled for years. The idea that any of the founders would give a shit is laughable, as is that they would even believe in an afterlife (especially Franklin and Jefferson) #Deism

I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that he actually voted for Acton and the did all this just to be a disruptive pain in the ass to push voters her way.

💯💙 Very well stated!!

This is hell, spending eternity being harangued by Button Gwinnett

Voters will hold Vivek accountable now

I also have some questions for them.

Oh, and I'd also want to haunt my kids of course (in a friendly ghost way).

Do you know any 45 year old French broads? -Dead Ben Franklin

What sort of rancid oatmeal lives in Ramaswamy's cranium? This is just somersaulting weird.

He's a deluded fool !

This post is running through my head constantly, so I guess I’m interested

"... they'd have a metric shit-ton to answer for." 💯 for specifying the units AND for choosing the metric system for it. 👍✊👏💙

Ben Franklin letting all the prostitutes and porn stars in, no questions asked.

If I get to Heaven and one of the first things that happens is a slave holder starts some shit with me, I'm getting put in Heaven Time Out because I'm gonna start swinging on the guy.

Hey, Ben — meet my Penn pal Chuck Bednarik

Enslavers and Vivek Ramaswamy very much going to the same afterlife.

More proof they think the constitution is a lost chapter of the bible

The Founding Mothers (helluva band name) probably have all of their asses locked in a cage somewhere so they should be easy to find.

Lol, erm no Vivek, in the afterlife we're only answerable to God.

Hindus don't believe in afterlife....he is just making shit up

Why? What're they gonna do, kill me again?

My answer? These nuts.

"Hey, Benji, how's the treatment for syphilis here in hell?"

Accepting the first two premises it’s easy for me to accept that Vivek is going the same place as slavers

Founding Fathers aren't God, Vivek. They would probably spit in his face if he ever said that to them.

Wasn't Ben Franklin by and large one of the more chill, anti-racist types in the room? He was friends with Graham Sharp, and I'm pretty sure Thomas Paine too.

I'd like to think that after two hundred years in the afterlife a smart guy like him has listened to some people who came after him and is quite embarrassed by a lot of his premortuary views.

That pleases me, yes.
