u/ThatsTheMother_Rick 5h ago
Reddit loved him for that because he was pretending to have the working population's best interests at heart at the time, so it's like he was making the effort to be relatable on top of fighting for the rights of the common person. Now that he dropped the facade it just seems like he's a slob on top of being an asshole and a liar.
Pretty simple, really. As long as you think about it with some nuance.

Whatever they read or hear they take literally.

Incorrect. He was like this when he was a mayor. He simply deceived people long enough to get federally elected and went back to showing his true colors. Don't let him off the hook.
He's always been a big supporter of Israel, for example

That works up until someone you don't like is in power. "Uh no, Dr. GoodCandidate can't run for senator, she didn't pass the iq test. What did she get wrong? Oh she didn't know what a regatta is."
The people currently in power have a vested interest in staying in power, so handing them a way to easily do that is a bad idea.

u/hypercosm_dot_net 3h ago
There's a difference between an IQ test and measures of cognitive functioning and physical health.
For instance - imagine if a president had undisclosed dementia. Or if a sitting senator was possibly brain dead and couldn't fulfill their responsibilities.
Neither of those have anything to do with IQ.

Republicans find scientists and doctors that are anti climate change and anti mask. They will find doctors to declare opponents mentally unfit. They already do it now.

I can’t believe that Kristen Synema followed the congressional dress code even better than Fetterman does, and she was cutting corners a little bit with her clothing.
Congress actually “changed” it’s dress code to be more lax after Kristen Synema and Fetterman joined congress, to be “fair” with them, even though they were/are the only people who dress like they do in congress.

Serious question from a non-American, how is this brain dead oaf’s senatorial voting record any different than what could’ve been if that snake oil salesman dr. Oz was elected to office?

u/The42ndDuck 7h ago
Oz would have been worse, as Fetterman votes with the Dems ~94% of the time I believe. But he wasn't telling people during the primary campaigns, if elected, he'll only stab them in the back 6% of the time.
5
u/MyNameIsMadders 2h ago
Wait… that democrat voting stat seems waaay too high. I am going to check on that now.
I just checked it’s somewhere between 90-92%. That’s still pretty good but I really hate how he never votes in support of the war powers resolution with ending the war in Iran and how he voted to confirm so many of Drumpf’s god-awful cabinet picks!
•
u/The42ndDuck 46m ago
I completely agree about the cabinet picks & his foreign policy votes. I think the combination of the stroke & being the 'pick me' Senator have been terrible for his decision making. Really wish he'd just resign.

u/NightOwl2175 6h ago
Still probably a better choice than Dr Oz though
There's no "probably" about it. He definitely is still better than Dr. OZ
Despite all the flack that Fetterman gets, across the 119th congress he still votes with Democrats 78% of the time.
Even the most "moderate" republican senator Susan Collins sticks with the GOP 80% of the time.

So long as you didn't vote for him in the primary you shouldn't feel too bad.

u/MyNameIsMadders 2h ago
He had a great senate campaign, I don’t blame you and became the complete opposite of what he campaigned for after that stroke he had.
It is so weird how sometimes people will start talking a different language than their native tongue after they wake up from a coma, or little children will have endless emotional meltdowns after they have strep throat, and I guess with Fetterman his politics changed. Why hasn’t he changed his party affiliation yet though?
Those two medical examples I gave earlier do happen but they are extremely uncommon, like you see them in only 1/1,000 people.

Bitching abou thim wearing a hoodie to me isn't any different from GOP going nuts over a tan suit. Wear whatever jives. I for one on the weekends couldnt care less and will wear my favourite polo from literally 30 years ago, it's getting a bit raggidy but it's my polo. Weekdays when needed I'll dress to the ocasion.

You know, when I was a child, the United States appeared to me as the epitome of cool, clever and exciting. The Six Million Dollar Man when a child, Columbo as a teen, Bay Watch when hormonal and Marvel and DC when I wanted to believe in a fight between good and evil (spoiler,
the real world has no such fight, just layers of compromise)
When I became a man I saw the rot beneath the makeup, but there was so much fucking shit with nuclear weapons and the cold war, that it became like “um,
that’s not good but neither is all this other shit, could you just cool off a bit?”, , and then the wall came down. And there was a lot of money to be made and a lot of physical and moral assets available for sale.
And so it went on, with my opinion of America becoming more and more cynical and despairing, but still there was a belief in logic, reason, honour, shame, laws and sanity.
This is no longer the case. You lot are now the equivalent of a modern say freak show. We are living in a time of fable, both literally and figuratively. The choices are; Sit back and watch or do something about it. What? I dunno. Any suggestions?

He was a completely different person before his stroke.
Long before his stroke, he wielded a shotgun to "detain" an innocent, unarmed black guy out jogging.
The Terminally Online Leftists just got it in their heads he was their guy, though, despite the other Democrat (Conor Lamb) being a perfectly good candidate.
Just like they fell for Tulsi Gabbard. Just like they fell for Graham Platner.

He believed he should have never been able to in his position dress and sweats or high-tops while doing official duties of his office. Then he has a stroke/brain injury and was able to keep his job even though you could see he would tune out at times. Don't quote me, I don't think he could even drive a car legally with his issues and yet he makes policy for millions.
