Fucking hell — I won’t mind if the guy gets another stroke and we can actually get a decent candidate at this point.
What an imbecile.
Just once I would like to have a Republican senator running on an ultra-conservative platform get elected and the reveal they are secretly an ultra-progressive.
I’ve actually given this considerable thought.
The MAGA party seems pretty easy to trick. They don’t believe in facts so you could literally be a progressive behind closed doors, so long as you’re racist in public.
The problem isn’t necessarily the voting bloc. The problem is the Republican establishment. You start voting with the Democrats and Republicans more influential than you will start batting at you. You could fight this by calling out fake news, that your opponents are part of the problem. They are Washington insiders, part of the swamp.
But you really have to have the cult personality to do so.
Why is it always these types of guys that are DINOs? The allure of the racist redneck lifestyle is too enticing?
Fetterman is an interesting case. He was pretty strongly Democratic until his stroke, then he seems to have made a pretty sharp turn to what we have now.
I low key wonder if someone at the hospital put fox news on in the background while he was recovering.
I think it’s quite simpler than that. It’s brain damage.
Personality and mood changes are common after strokes.
Yeah ive met quite a few stroke victims, it can range wildly in effects from my grandmother who just lost hearing function in one ear to people whos personality and basic human functionality is destroyed. It is terrifying concept to have something do that type of damage to folks.
Consistent with what it takes to be a republican automaton.
There’s always room for a Manchin. I’m guessing the one guy who grabs that ring has it made for life from then on, and in the entire Democratic legislature, the odds of there being no willing takers are essentially zero.
Just fucking change parties already. You’ve gone full MAGA. You were full MAGA months ago.
John Fetterman is such a little bitch.
I really don’t understand what’s happened to him, he seemed like a decent guy when Biden got elected and now he’s insanely MAGA all of a sudden? I thought he had morals and decency, guess I thought wrong. Almost no politician has those.
I really think it’s the stroke, it was pretty immediately after that when he went full MAGAt
