      I think it’s clear the democrats aren’t going to do anything to mess with the status quo, and their calculus doesn’t super duper include the wellbeing of the American people. They are just less culture war-ry about it.

        I see what you’re saying, but they’re very culture war-y. They just turn it on when they want to silence the left. “We can’t fight about economic platforms right now, black people still get killed more by cops and were the ones kneeling about that”

      Well, either the Republican party collapses or the democratic features of the US get broken. It’s really one or the other, now.

      During the rise of NSDAP, Jewish-owned German newspapers sided with the far-right party over Jewish working-class, who were getting massacred in the streets by SA and SS. Later, Hitler’s regime would nationalize the newspapers and send their owners to the concentration camps.

      Fetterman is banking his career on MAGA winning. But if they do, the regime will dispose of him when he’s no longer useful and he’ll be arrested (and imprisoned or executed) as a Democrat.

      But Fetterman has shown us he actually doesn’t have specific values, and is willing to perform any part in order to stay adjacent to power.

      I don’t think that Fetterman guy is actually a rodent, either. This tweet might not be entirely factually based, hyperbolic, and possibly even a joke.

    Only if you don’t include Jim Justice, Jeff Van Drew, Tricia Cotham, Mesha Mainor, and Shawn Thierry (since Trump was elected)
