Fetterman has to be one of the biggest disappointments for the left in recent memory - Lemmy.World

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 essentially yes, the stroke made him a Republican. Pathetic and disappointing, but all too predictable.

I told my inlaws about that “it takes brain damage to be a republican”

Then proceeded to ask would they vote for him now that you agree with his positions. Both of them said no “because he’s a democrat”

Of course they wouldn’t vote for him. It’s like a sports game to many Republican voters where they just vote for their team regardless of their position.

I’d bet that if a literal socialist ran for office as a Republican, many Republican voters would be on board.
