    To be fair to the piece of shit Fetterman, he ran on a very progressive platform.

    Then he had that stroke and now he’s one of the least progressive members of Congress.

    The question is, was he always a lying sack of shit? Or did the stroke literally change his mind?

      I really would like to see some studies on that topic “does cognitive decline skew your position to the right”. If it does it’s usually slowly over many years. But fetterman had a huge decline suddenly and basically in love with genocide now. (I still believe he didn’t think like that before).

      Would make sense in a way - stripping away all nuance from the world by means of deteriorating perception makes people only see good and bad or my team / their team.

      I don’t think Sinema ever had a stroke and I believe she went from “progressive” into a piece of shit once she got elected, so I’m going with “he’s a lying piece of shit” as the more likely reason.
