It’s insane how well Fetterman showed that brain damage causes conservatism.
He was a fake Democrat before his stroke. What he shows is how easily people are duped by a person that says what they want to hear.
Tbh I think it’s both things. I think he was a bit of a quisling before, but I also think his stroke turned that up to 11.
Not a single person who knew him before says this is a surprise.
Here’s a good example if how this happened.

Here is a discussion with people who are almost certainly genuinely leftists. They were given clear information from people who know the guy that he’s full of shit. No one wants to accept that narrative because it leaves them in the position that all American leftists fund themselves in eventually: no one on their ballot actually supports their interests.
Dude, it was him against Dr. Oz. At the time, anything was better than a celeb snake oil salesman who lives in New Jersey. I still think Fetterman is a better pick than Oz or McCormick, but I am disappointed by his voting record.
As long as our standard is “are they better than the worst imaginable person for the job?” this is the kind of candidate we can expect to get.
It is the corrupt, broken two-party, FPTP system working as intended.
If Oz had won I’d wager the votes would have all been the same but at least he isnt doing the damage he is doing to Medicare.
This shit always happens. There’s almost always enough Democrats willing to flip sides to fuck our lives up and yet still people freak out when you’re skeptical of the next mediocre white nepo candidate who had a nazi tattoo.
There are a whole bunch of people that will jump your shit if you criticize anyone that even pretends to be a good progressive, they will accuse you of giving purity tests and being a Trumper.
The most recent example was the actual fucking nazi blackwater mercenary that is running as a progressive in Maine. Point out the fact that he was literally a NAZI MERCENARY and somehow that is you supporting Trump because this nazi is comfortable with lying about being a “progressive”.
He was a fake Democrat before his stroke. What he shows is how easily people are duped by a person that says what they want to hear.
No he’s a real Democrat. He’s in the party. This is what Democrats are like.
That is a fair assessment. I should have said “fake progressive”.
Look at his voting record before vs after in the Senate. He has the stroke before he was even sworn in, but mostly voted along party lines in 2023 and 2024. His only real deviation, going back to his campaign, was that he was pro-fracking.
Anyone cane go ahead and look up his voting record, but it’s incredibly tedious to try to figure out what a vote actually means, how It aligns with the rest of the DNC (which is not necessarily what I would call "progressive), and how to feel about it. Everyone really SHOULD do this on their own, but for the lazy here is a website that at least claims to be progressive and tries to evaluate how members of Congress have voted over time.
2023: 200/207 votes were progressive 2024: 210/230 2025: 454/594 2026: 30/33 so far
You can find other websites that show a similar trend, and this matches my own personal observations as a Pennsylvania. Part of what got Fetterman elected in the first place was distancing himself from a tarnished DNC, and he was mostly doing a good job for his first year or so. In either later 2024 or 2025 something changed.
Someone got to him, and I could only speculate who. I doubt he’s in the Epstein files because he was not important enough for Epstein to care about until years after Epstein died. Could be AIPAC. Could be that oil companies had him in their pocket the whole time. Could be something else. But it’s certainly not correct to say that PA voters should have seen this coming.
Democrats are fundamentally compromised. They are a “controlled opposition”, not a political alternative because the DNC leadership ensures enough compromised candidates get in.

Strange to see him still being labeled as a representative of that party. At the very least, his attitude and voting record should indicate former Democrat, de facto Independent.
He stopped being a democrat after his stroke. I believe his wife left him too
Why is anyone still surprise? The brain was fried from the stroke.
Whenever, Fetterman does something shocking as a Democrat is equivalent to water is wet.
Primaried ✅
That piece of shit traitor is going to pull a Sinema and try to go Independent or flip Republican.
Shame we must wait for 2028 cycle.
I thought he admitted that he regrets even running in the first place?
Nothing stopping the bitch from resigning right now if he wants.
I agree
Maybe he’ll stroke out again and have to resign.
is that the guy with the brain damage?
The stoke gave him brain damage and turned him into a republican
In a couple of decades, we might discover that conservatism is a medical condition.
Hopefully the next one turns him into a corpse
I hope that his voters kick him into the rocks, and get someone who doesn’t suck.
Fetterman loves fascism.
THATS my Boy!
-Chuck Schumer!
Hang him with rest of the traitors.
There’s no recall mechanism for members of congress. Fetterman has me reminding myself of constitutional law.
Stop calling him that, is there a way to force a party change? Like he’s literally voting opposite of his party. Or is he just compromised and Trump has dirt.
is there a way to force a party change?
Primary
There’s a reason people do what they do. “Dirt” is a very good reason to abandon his constituents.
A very, very good reason to have term limits.
Fetterman is a DINO.
Democrat In Name Only.
Is there any mechanism to revoke the name?
Dude got brain damage and became a conservative.
