All he has to do to get them off his back is to resign. He's not being forced to stay in a job that makes both him and his constituents miserable.
questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do”
Oh come the fuck on, you know exactly why.
stroke+ falling in with the right wing crowd isnt doing him any favors. there are many celebrities that had strokes and became looney right wing christians.
Yeah, brain damage and right-wing thinking are heavily intertwined
Apparently brain damage and fascism correlate.
Bets on how long before this dude records a collab track with Kanye?
They need to stop calling him a Democrat. He's not one.
They need to keep calling him a democrat. He lied about being a progressive to get into office and then made a hard right turn. The only thing more emblematic of the democratic party is blaming the left when pandering to the right fails.

I think that stroke might have killed more brain cells than we originally thought. Almost as many as that brain worm.
the brainworms is just keeping rfk jr conscience.

Probably the immediate about-face he took on every single stance he had prior to his stroke...
People tend to get mad when you campaign on helping people then turn into a fascist supporter
No, no, no. He was a piece of shit before he got elected he just hid it better before the stroke.

Brain damage makes you more conservative
Universities aren’t peddling some “liberal agenda,” it just so happens that the more educated you are the more liberal you tend to become. I’m sure that has nothing to do with red states pushing Jesus in schools and rolling back child labor laws..

Having higher intelligence correlates strongly to left wing beliefs.

If people have papers to the contrary lets see them.

It’s incredible how many passes he’s gotten since his stroke. He’s been spiraling hard. Megalomania, paranoia, and overall reckless behavior have become more common traits, but according to him he’s fine, he says while seething through clenched teeth.
Gets brain damage
Becomes conservative snowflake
I have had to watch this happen to a close friend.
Back in 2015, I had a buddy who got into a nasty bike accident, and suffered a TBI. He was always a bit of a snarky asshole, but we definitely did see eye to eye on political matters before that happened. But during his recovery, he became a lot more viciously vindictive and outright mean, and also ended up going full MAGA later on. It was weird and depressing to watch a close friend spiral out of control and lash out at people who were previously his very close friends, to the extent that he alienated basically all of them.
It sucks, and it’s very real.

John needs the health insurance and his policy is what every single resident in the USA should have. He does not give a shit about the common people. Find another Democrat and toss him out.
Dude acted cool. Then he has a serious medical issue. Suddenly he chooses to quit giving a shit because he saw his death and chose to be selfish and unappreciative of life. I'm glad I didn't do that when I nearly died.
Getting brain damage and becoming conservative is quite the statement though.

WHY IS THIS MAN STILL IN OFFICE
Between this and the other story earlier this week, its crystal fucking clear that he is not well. Does nobody close to him care about his clear brain damage from his stroke? It's like the entire federal government is weekend at bernie's and the whole thing is being run by staffers
I think your system has made it abundantly clear that neither competence, nor mental state, nor age, nor criminal record are limiting factor to be a politician in the US.
If anything, they're prerequisites.
They let Feinstein legislate with full blown dementia. As long as they can do what the lobbyists paid them to, these kinds of people likely aren't going anywhere. It costs a bit of money to own a representative and their owners want as much ROI as possible.

As somebody that has suffered from a stroke, I can pretty much relate to what John is going through here as I used to suffer from emotional outbursts early into my recovery as well. While I cannot promise you that it's the same thing exactly it sure seems awfully familiar and hopefully he can recover like I did.
He should probably do it in the privacy of his own home, not as a sitting US Senator.
I had a stroke (really, a multi-stroke trauma event). I spent many days in the hospital under close supervision. Unlike Fetterman, I listened to my doctors, took an extended leave of absence from work, slept almost the entire time so my brain could heal in those critical days and weeks, took my medication, and went to physical therapy.
Fetterman reportedly didn't do any of that.
I recovered fully. Fetterman clearly did not. In his current state, he should step down for the sake of everyone, especially himself. The stress of his job is about the worst possible thing he could do to himself.

Raises alarms? It sounds like he had a mental breakdown and caused his staffers to as well.

You go turncoat you gotta accept the stoning
He should resign and let the Gov. appoint someone whose brain is functioning properly. I donated a lot over the years to Fetterman from my fixed income. I no longer support him.
The guy belongs in a care home, not in a political office. Which seems pretty common in present day US politics.
Well at least he's got enough brain cells left to realize he's loathed now. Thats not much but its something.
He's living proof that if you harm the brain, you become a conservative idiot
He's such a fucking disappointment
