Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm
“In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman’s mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in “conspiratorial thinking”, “megalomania”, rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan.”
Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children’s programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he’s erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.
just gently suggesting both can be true - he was problematic before the stroke, but the stroke could also be playing a role in what by all accounts seems to be a change in behavior and long-held policy positions which started after the stroke. Even Fetterman himself thinks the stroke is what was responsible for this change: https://newrepublic.com/post/182504/john-fetterman-abandon-progressives-bill-maher
Stroke personality changes are very real. I feel for him in that regard
Stop shaming stroke victims.
Fetterman was always like this.
He wasn’t, that’s the narrative after the fact. That thing fucking changed him fundamentally.
Didn’t vandalize local business and chase after joggers with a shotgun after the stroke.

I think he probably changed due to the stroke. I also think he was always a piece of shit.
Also, his family bankrolled him the entire time.
Bankrolled what? Community gardens? Art centers? What are you specifically claiming and why is it relevant to this man’s obvious public decline?
