Fetterman has always been a Republican, despite having a "D" next to his name.

He's a grade A moron, he's already a republican.

Ableism, he deserves respect and care after his brain injury.

He was a moron before his brain injury. Some people are born dumb and I do feel they deserve equal respect in society. Others choose among all options to actively seek stupidity, I know because I grew up with them in the 80's and 90's when being smart was "gay" and "dorky". These people thought being big, dumb, and strong was something to be proud of and I have no sympathy for their negative impact on society.
