You think CTE causes people to become assholes?
A stroke like Fetterman's often produces even larger personality changes. Sometimes it's for the better, but often it tends to effect the forebrain where things like empathy and critical thinking happen. If it gets other parts in the hind brain that's where you get the other stereotypical stroke symptoms of slurring speech and poor muscle control.
Fettermen wasn't perfect, but he wasn't this huge of an asshole before the stroke
It doesn't excuse any of his shit behavior either. I just always think "why" is an important question when talking about someone's behavior. Ironically enough when it happened Republicans called for him to resign and Dems blindly defended him. After the personality changes he's Republicans favorite Dem and most of his own party hates him.
I wouldn't be surprised if he runs as a Republican next election.
Edit:
Guess I should have "more of an asshole".
I think it probably has a lot more to do with the fact that pro Israel pacs gave him 250k. You’re just viewing the corruption in realtime
He was openly zionist before he was elected, we all just looked the other way or coped with "Well zionism is the default stance in America, he seems like a decent person, so when he actually learns, he'll change his mind".
Only the way he is expressing his view can be attributed to the stroke.
Yeah, I never heard of that and I was paying attention during that time.
He kind of just came out of nowhere and everyone loved him because he wore hoodies?
I remember he was on Colbert once talking about it, and he just immediately rubbed me as an asshole, but that was probably 2023, a year or so post stroke.
He was doing a lot of things that signaled to the left that he was on our side, talking about unions, healthcare as a human right, prison reform, banning politicians from owning stock, dude's twitter background was even a hammer and sickle Fox News had branded him with for awhile.
Hexbear, cursed with Casandra Syndrome, saw what he was even before the primary, but still hoped for a berniecrat.
