‘Ready to Flee NYC?' Vivek Ramaswamy Has a $50K Suggestion
PJ MEDIA ^ | 07/15/2025 | Stephen Green

Posted on 07/16/2025 1:44:19 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

“Worried About Zohran?” reads a Times Square electronic billboard: “Ohio Is Waiting For You.” Wait a few seconds, and the faces of New York City's mayoral election lineup appear along with another pointed question: "Ready to flee NYC?"

“Move to Ohio! Protecting freedom —Vivek Ramaswamy."

The $50,000 signage is paid for by Ramaswamy's Super PAC — Victors not Victims (VPAC) — established to support his effort to become Ohio's next Republican governor in 2026.

VPAC's Andy Surabian told Fox News that New Yorkers concerned about Mamdani's "radical socialist policies" should move to a state like Ohio "that is about to elect a conservative trailblazer committed to liberty and prosperity for all."

I'm not sure how well "Move to Ohio!" plays with New Yorkers. I'm less sure how well it plays with understandably wary Ohioans. As a Coloradan for three decades, I can tell you in blistering terms what happens when blue state refugees become settler-colonists in a red-leaning state.

What I do know for sure is that Ramaswamy seems to be having a blast tweaking Big Apple residents while they're playing electoral footsie with Democrat-Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

The neo-Marxist, pseudo-African American nominee promises a four-year rent freeze on two million units, eliminating bus fares, a $30 minimum wage, at least five city-run grocery stores, free universal child care, expanded public housing for parents, $65 million for "gender-affirming care," and making NYC an LGBTQ+ "sanctuary city," and replacing cops in high-crime areas with social workers.

New Yorkers will never move to Ohio. There are more churches than gay bars in Ohio.

Columbus is up to its eyeballs in PRIDE [expletive]; I suspect Cincy and Cleveland are not far behind.

Circleville is another story; at least its main industry is toilet paper, and they’re on a roll.

All I know is that New Yorkers would hate South Carolina. The food sucks, they’d need a whole new wardrobe, have to put up with hearing rifle and shotgun blasts, Confederate flag displays and holidays, and learn how to be comfortable around pit and Staffordshire mixed breeds. Then there are the snakes... So for the sake of humanity remain in NY!!!

And gators. Don't forget the gators. The gators in South Carolina have developed a taste for New Yorkers. The gators in SC like greasy food.

And NH is loaded with deer ticks which carry Lyme disease.

Don’t come here either.

This is a great campaign move. Plenty of publicity and really takes the wind out of his opponents’ sail.

Until President Trump returned, the democRATS Social Work was performed by the Tren De Aragua social network.

“when blue state refugees become settler-colonists in a red-leaning state.”

I fled IL for GA in 2013. I faced some antagonism from GA Republicans. I was able to overcome it with my history of Goldwater and Reagan but not Nixon, Ford or Bush.

But most people are not politically active. The millions of Northerners now in GA are written off/ignored while the factions of the GA GOP commit mutual genocide.
