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.

    not gonna lie, i kinda just straight up forgot about his ass.

    Unfortunately now i have to remember that he’s alive. Maybe that stroke should’ve taken him out of service…

      I live in Pa and keep forgetting about him until he pops up in the news. Then I’m reminded that he is the biggest disappointment I’ve experienced in politics. I almost feel like my vote was wasted. Hopefully he at least keeps reproductive rights a thing in this state. I cannot function without my bc because it keeps my endometriosis at bay.

        yeah, unfortunately he’s a senator so 6 year terms, but you can oust the fucker as soon as that happens, thankfully.
