    I still cannot believe how wrong I was about John Fetterman.

      the alternative wouldve been MEMHET oz, but oz is in a position to do more harm than fetterman right now, it was a lose lose situation.

      He was different before his stroke. There are multiple studies that correlate frontal and midline lesions in the brain with right-wing authoritarianism.

        I guess but I feel like supporting Gaza genocide isn’t something you just stroke into.

          I don’t know enough about Fetterman’s past to make a judgement on how his stroke affected him, but you totally could. Brain damage can fundamentally change who you are as a person on every level, from memory to logic, or even spirituality. It can change or entirely destroy your ability to feel empathy, damping some emotions while amping up others. Strokes that fundamentally change personality like that are rare, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

            There’s a famous case of a guy who got a railroad spike blown through his frontal lobe and he basically became a huge asshole.

              Phineas Gage if anyone wants to look the case up. Classic psychology and neurology tale.

              Of course this happened before modern scientific standards and procedures were mainstream, so take everything with a grain of salt.

          Actually, that’s kinda what these neuroscientists are finding happens.

            Any evidence of it ever having the opposite effect?

              That tends to happen with books, but wisely applying their contents to the dome.

          Strokes can break your brain fundamentally change your personality and values. Idk if that actually happens or if he was always actually a piece of shit. It doesn’t matter ultimately. He’s a shithead now.

          Maybe more than 8.5% of voters should’ve turned out for the primary.

        I mean, I thought he was the best option during the primary, that was definitely wrong. And not everything can be blamed on the stroke.
