Entrepreneur Warns The Risk Of Electing Another Democratic President
Entrepreneur and social media influencer Naval Ravikant expressed concern this week about the Democratic Party’s use of the justice system against former President Donald Trump, warning that it could have severe consequences for the United States.
Ravikant shared his views during an interview with SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly, where he explained his recent decision to become more involved in political discourse.
“It was the lawfare that kind of brought me off the sidelines,” he stated. “It’s really disgusting behavior, because this is how you descend into a complete Banana Republic with military coups and military rule. The moment you can start weaponizing the law against your enemies selectively, that’s the beginning of the end.”
Ravikant criticized the charges brought against Trump, describing them as “trumped up” and saying they were created without substantial evidence. “They were really made up. You violated the statute of limitations. You tried to drum things up into a felony when there was no evidence of such. It was a miscategorization of business expenses. When you have complex business dealings, like I do, and like many people do, you can always find something,” he said.
He further argued that the “selective prosecution” against Trump is a direct result of the “progressive DA movement,” which is financially backed by Democratic mega donor George Soros.
“If you want the case against Kamala Harris, it’s the fact that she was DA in San Francisco and San Francisco’s a mess,” Ravikant remarked. “And in fact, afterwards, she advocated for George Gascon, who’s the guy who is destroying LA through basically not prosecuting criminals and going after business owners.”
Ravikant warned that such selective prosecution is “the stuff that ends the Republic” and could lead to the U.S. becoming a “one party state, better known as a dictatorship.”
He drew comparisons to other countries, saying, “China is a one party state. North Korea is a one party state. So I don’t use the words ‘one party state’ lightly. But I think the weaponization of the justice system, the engagement, willingness to go into lawfare, that is the thing that will lead to violence. That is the thing that will lead to a dissolution and a breakup and something worse in the United States.”
He specifically criticized Alvin Bragg, suggesting that Bragg’s campaign was explicitly focused on targeting Trump: “When Alvin Bragg runs on the explicit campaign to take down Trump, and then they go hunting through and looking for anything and drumming up any charge, and go after him in the most favorable juries in the most favorable part of the country, and then just control the evidence and control the narrative, that is the beginning of the end.”
Ravikant expressed strong disapproval of those who support these actions, particularly in Silicon Valley. “And the people who in Silicon Valley and the donors who are out there supporting this lawfare, they’re dead to me,” he declared. “I mean, these people are destroying the ground on which they stand. Do they think they won’t be next?”
