Ramaswamy is using the attack on US culture to hide the real reason he and Musk are dependent on H-1Bs: they refuse to pay industry standard wages to their workers, and H-1B workers are fired and deported if they protest being crowded 30 to a room in sweatshop conditions for 18 hours a day.

Heather Cox Richardson adds some telling details that highlight the contrast between Jimmy Carter and Lester Maddox, the man Carter succeeded as Governor of Georgia:

"[Carter’s] predecessor, Maddox, had refused to let state workers take the day off to attend services for the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral; Carter pointedly hung a portrait of King – as well as portraits of educator Lucy Craft Laney and Georgia politician and minister Henry McNeal Turner – in the State Capitol."
