I feel so vindicated. When he was first elected I was calling out his fake every man persona and getting downvoted to hell for it. Walking around in flip flops and a hoodie as if he wasn't a silver spoon nepo baby. I never bought into his personality as genuine, and found all his bullshit to be a distraction from a lack of substance. Now it's very clear he's a silver spoon nepo baby, he's chosen his side and it's not with us regular folk. It's with his wealthy buddies.

I am inclined to blame the stroke he had, as it has lots of examples of altering people's personality's.

No, he had said a bunch of zionist shit before he was elected that people, myself included, assumed he was simply ignorant on and would move left when confronted with the truth.

Turns out it was just wishful thinking.

The stroke probably didn't help, and personality might account for how Fetterman expresses his support for genocide by rubbing his former supporter's faces in it, but there's not a "don't genocide Palestinians" part of the brain that got turned off.
