    Why is it always these types of guys that are DINOs? The allure of the racist redneck lifestyle is too enticing?

      Fetterman is an interesting case. He was pretty strongly Democratic until his stroke, then he seems to have made a pretty sharp turn to what we have now.

        I low key wonder if someone at the hospital put fox news on in the background while he was recovering.

          I think it’s quite simpler than that. It’s brain damage.

          Personality and mood changes are common after strokes.

            Are there cases where someone goes from far right asshole to being a better person after brain damage?

            Yeah ive met quite a few stroke victims, it can range wildly in effects from my grandmother who just lost hearing function in one ear to people whos personality and basic human functionality is destroyed. It is terrifying concept to have something do that type of damage to folks.

            Consistent with what it takes to be a republican automaton.

      There’s always room for a Manchin. I’m guessing the one guy who grabs that ring has it made for life from then on, and in the entire Democratic legislature, the odds of there being no willing takers are essentially zero.
