From the article:
The liberal comedian then asked Fetterman whether his shift in various policies had anything to do with his recovery from his 2022 stroke, asking if his near-death experience had given him a “freedom.”
“Absolutely,” Fetterman responded. “There’s a line from the first ‘Batman,’ Joker’s like ‘I’ve been dead once already. It’s very liberating.'”
“It’s freeing in a way. And I just think after beating all of that, I just really [want to] be able to say the things that I have to really believe in and not be afraid of if there’s any kind of blowback.”
So basically yes, the stroke made him a Republican. Pathetic and disappointing, but all too predictable.
That’s it? I’m reading this comment section for 5 minutes trying to find what right-wing things he’s done that are making everyone so upset, and it’s all just piling on with everyone nodding to each other about how bad he is. Comments like “the stroke should have killed him.” Weird.
This is how it goes. The second a politician shows even a fraction less than 100% commitment to the party line, people turn on them. Politics is all black and white and it’s insane. There’s no middle ground.
Dems and Leftists are brainwashed morons that cannot and will not abandon the teamsports mentality.
That’s a Republican talking point, but it’s also true. Though I would say just Leftists, not Dems in general. Leftists always prefer purity tests over positive change. Mainstream Dems are pragmatic.
Republicans are also brainwashed morons that cannot and will not abandon the teamsports mentality. Dems/Leftists just have it worse at the moment with the hordes of braindead zoomers defending literal rape and murder by Hamas
