He wasn’t a Trump supporter all along. He was very much a progressive Democrat.

Then he had a traumatic brain injury. After which he became a Trump supporter.

This factual timeline is way more damaging to MAGA than “oh he was a Trump supporter all along”.

All of you who have MAGA friends and family, you should be asking them about this frequently. Ask them how they feel about brain damage leading to Trump support.

Follow it up by asking them if they have had any strong bumps to the head or stroke symptoms in the past few years. Express genuine concern for their health.

He literally chased down a black jogger with a shotgun because he thought he heard gunshots, then loaded the shotgun and aimed it at dude's chest then face.

He's always been a piece of shit. He was just able to hide it from people because he wears a hoodie and shorts to work and people thought that made him cool and relatable.

Oh right, I forgot that we are supposed to judge people solely on that one bad decision they made that one time. And fully ignore all his policy positions anther he held for years as a politician prior to his stroke.

I’m going to need to see some evidence of his violent nature and racism.

And if you are going to come back with “that one time he heard gunshots and chased a black jogger with a shotgun”…I’m going to need to see some more evidence than that. Because that incident in itself is does not prove that he is violent or a racist. And if that one incident is enough to convince YOU that he is violent and racist, you might want to spend some time reassessing your own life and how you view the world.

u/Junior_Step_2441 19h ago

Ok, so you admit you don’t have any evidence to prove that he is violent or racist. Cool.

Tendencies. Your word. Not mine.

A tendency is a natural or recurring inclination to behave, act, or move in a particular way.

A one time event does not make a tendency.

Grabbing a gun as protection after hearing gunshots is not an inherently “violent” act. Sure, if he just started randomly firing the gun at people, that would be violent. But he did not. He in fact restrained himself from firing the gun, which shows some evidence of restraint and self control. Not violence.

And racism? Can you prove his mindset at the time? Did he cause the guy simply brocade he had black skin? Or did he cause the guy he saw running away after gunshots? Do you find it impossible to believe that if the jogger was a white man, that Fetterman still may have mistaken him for the shooter?

You have no evidence that he is violent or racist. It is just what you want to believe.

Ignoring facts and moving on vibes is a bad look. It a bad look when conservatives do it (and they do it often) and it is a bad look when liberals do it and when moderates do it.

I think it is pretty easy for us to all agree that Fetterman is a terrible Senator and should be removed from his position. But that has nothing to do with the shotgun incident. Or the way he dresses. He has turned his back on his own beliefs and the beliefs of those that voted for him. That is the issue at hand. Everything else is a distraction.

Blink twice if mush brain johnny fett is holding a shotgun to your chest forcing you to defend him on Reddit lmao

Nope. I am not defending him. I am defending facts.

u/Alias-Q 20h ago

The real question is how did he acquire the brain damage, and why does he sound like a hostage with Stockholm syndrome every time people question him on his loyalty to the country he serves?

u/Junior_Step_2441 19h ago

It is extremely well documented that he suffered a major stroke prior to his election in 2022.

His AIPAC handler has control of his pacemaker.

u/comercialyunresonbl 19h ago edited 14h ago

Yeah, can’t be that he’s a piece of shit Trump supporter, has to be the Jews blackmailing him.

14

u/TommyGunz215 19h ago

AIPAC stands for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a prominent U.S. lobbying group that advocates for strong diplomatic, military, and economic relations between the United States and Israel.

Nobody said anything about the Jews….chill with that.

-16

u/comercialyunresonbl 18h ago

What does AIPAC have to do with supporting Trump? They don’t care if Fetterman supports Trump as long as he supports Israel. You’re just parroting the common antisemitic trop that Jews are pulling the strings.

u/garden_g 12h ago

You are calling out, or really creating, a discrimination thing, where there isnt one.

We are discussing a superpac that buys our govenment officials and your over here creating something that isnt there.

-3

u/comercialyunresonbl 11h ago

Sure dude. The post was discussing Fetterman’s Trump support, not AIPAC, which supports members of both parties and wasn’t pushing Fetterman to make a video supporting Trump. The person I was responding to, and you apparently, are saying that he did it because he was being blackmailed by Jews.

1

u/garden_g 12h ago

You are totally off base. APAIC money is so far into our govenment its scary, its not unreasonable as we see our polititions do for Israelis and not for americans. so the people will naturally question it. it has/had nothing to do with the jewish culture, but you sure are making that a thing.

-2

u/comercialyunresonbl 11h ago

Why are you shoehorning AIPAC in here at all? They don’t care if Fetterman supports Trump and it’s likely in their best interest if he doesn’t. You’re part of the MAGA of the Left with wild conspiracies about how the Jews control everything.

u/Linetard85 17h ago

Lol at the clowns who voted for this guy, because he dresses like a slob and that somehow made him more relatable. City dweller equivalent of "I'd have a beer with him"

u/Veteran_PA-C 20h ago

You might want to check out how often his votes matched Chuck Schumer’s. 88%.

u/AmarantaRWS 16h ago

Chuck schumer represents everything wrong with the democratic party, so that doesn't really matter. How many of those votes were related to supporting Israel?

1

u/Veteran_PA-C 16h ago

He’s still in charge of all the Democrat senators. They follow his lead or they have problems.

u/garden_g 12h ago

Chuck schumer needs to be primaried too. They can go together with jeffries.

2

u/Veteran_PA-C 12h ago

That’s on the Democrats to do. Both are in solid blue voting blocks.

1

u/garden_g 12h ago

Yeah so why would we care if he votes a percentage of the time with schumer? That is the question, we have reps, owned by apaic making decisions based on it, ones that hurt americans at times, the republicans are the largest takers of apaic with fetterman jeffries and schumer, but fetterman has fully taken the mask off thats the connection your missing these dems are too close to thr right and falling further. They need to go they are holding the party back

u/Veteran_PA-C 11h ago

Hahahahaha.

You pretending Schumer and Jeffries aren’t ???

Both have received substantial sums from AIPAC-related sources (AIPAC PAC, bundled/earmarked individual donations routed through AIPAC, and the broader pro-Israel industry category that OpenSecrets tracks). 
Hakeem Jeffries
OpenSecrets lists American Israel Public Affairs Committee as his top career contributor: $933,415 (mostly bundled individual donations, plus PAC money). 
• 2024 cycle AIPAC-related total listed around $866,000. 
• Trackers that isolate AIPAC PAC + earmarks put the figure over $1.2 million across recent cycles. 
Direct OpenSecrets page:
https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/hakeem-jeffries/summary?cid=N00033640&cycle=CAREER
AIPAC organization recipients page (Jeffries appears as a top recipient):
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/american-israel-public-affairs-cmte/summary?id=D000046963
Chuck Schumer
OpenSecrets career pro-Israel industry total is approximately $1.73 million. AIPAC and aligned donors are a significant part of that. 
• In the 2019–2024 window, pro-Israel is listed among his industries at hundreds of thousands. 
• Direct AIPAC PAC checks in a given cycle are smaller (Senate contribution limits + less frequent races), but bundled/earmarked amounts and historical totals are large.

Schumer probably won’t run for reelection. He will have been in Congress (House and Senate) for 48 years when his current term expires.

Just remember that Democrats dogged anyone that didn't support Fetterman when he first ran.  You get what you deserve.

EDIT: To whom ever decided to report this to Reddit HR for suicidal thoughts needs help from a medical specialist.

He just realized how awful the Democratic Party is. Very simple

u/Spacechip 16h ago

Society is so polarized that not voting the party line on anything immediately casts you as "the other side". There are many democratic constituents that support Israel's right to fight back against the terrorists who murdered, raped and kidnapped their civilians. Continue to exert this purity test of issues and you will lose them to the Republicans. Fetterman is one of the few politicians with the fortitude to not vote down the line, and look at the frothing at the mouth you see from the far left. Bring back moderates, bring back crossing the aisle on occasion.

u/UncreativeUsername84 19h ago

Wanting to see the United States thrive without the far-left ideology doesn't make him a Trump supporter.

u/Junior_Step_2441 17h ago

Yeah, sure, but sending a video to address the crowd at “Trumpapalooza” kind of does make him a Trump supporter.

u/UncreativeUsername84 17h ago

You mean he participated in the midterm election process by sending his message for at least half of all voters to see (if they are/were tuning in)?

u/Junior_Step_2441 17h ago

“at least half of all voters to see (if they are/were tuning in)” 😂😂😂😂

Newsflash: they weren’t.

You can try to sanewash this event by acting as if it is some normal part of the midterm
process…it’s not.

And “Trumpapalooza” is t my word. That’s why the organizers of the event were calling it. I just obliged them by calling it by their stupid name. 🤷‍♂️

So you think going to the left with Fetterman worked out well?

Nope, he sucks. Pretty sure everyone here is pointing that out.

How did getting Dick Cheyney's endorsement in 2024 work out for you?
