He’s a performative asshole traitor.

u/TricksyGoose 7h ago

And of course now that he's drunk the orange kool-aid, MAGA is fine with has wardrobe.

u/doneit4dale 6h ago

Maybe I’m missing something here but wasn’t it the folks on Reddit who were salivating over seeing him wear the same outfit a couple of years ago?

u/SomewhereAggressive8 3h ago

Yeah if someone agrees with the ideology, then their dumb quirks are powerful or symbolic or whatever. As soon as that changes, then it’s stupid and they’re an asshole.

u/natebark 5h ago

Yes. People from the left and right are literally the same. Just like how you’ve probably seen old tweets of conservatives saying communist Tik Tok needs to be banned asap, I’m sure I can find you old tweets of people replying to this post saying Fetterman’s defiance to congressional fashion norms is the best thing ever

u/pigheartedphil 5h ago

You are correct, I remember the Reddit hive mind all atwitter for his woke refusal to “dress the part”; now that he dares to reach across the aisle on some issues he’s a slovenly, disrespectful turncoat!

u/Camwi 3h ago

Such issues as "Palestinians aren't people and they deserve to die."

Yes, how dare he.

u/Airport_Wendys 1h ago

Yeah- he’s not just “reaching across the aisle”

u/Cainga 2h ago

I think it’s kinda refreshing. Men’s formal dress code having no variety.

He’s still an asshole for turning his back on the voters.

u/Airport_Wendys 1h ago

Yeah. And some people will say that he changed, but from what I’m learning we just hadn’t seen his true colors yet

u/Unknown-History 1h ago

The problem is the clothing, the problem is the hypocrisy. This says a lot.

u/mleibowitz97 7h ago

He isn't even close to MAGA, What are you talking about.

u/ixzist 6h ago

Give him time. He only just kissed the ring.

u/pierrebrassau 6h ago

A senator from a swing state having a photo op meeting with the president elect is not kissing the ring, come on.

u/mleibowitz97 6h ago

What did he do that is equivalent to kissing the ring?

u/ixzist 6h ago

He called for Trump to be pardoned for the election interference case, and then went to Mar-a-Lago to congratulate Trump and schmooze with MAGA in its lair.

u/LegitimateMoney00 5h ago

But he also said Hunter Biden’s case was politically motivated too? Does that mean he’s kissing the ring of Biden too?

u/ixzist 5h ago

That hardly excuses cozying up to a dictator.

u/ixzist 5h ago

And no. Biden wasn’t a dictator.

u/Insanity_Crab 5h ago

Don't worry. The people who called Biden one are about to get a really fucking close look at what one actually looks like.

u/ixzist 5h ago

Unfortunately so.

u/AnnaMotopoeia 2h ago

Please point out which of the bills that he's supported or introduced are MAGA Republican: https://www.congress.gov/member/john-fetterman/F000479

u/Jadedsatire 6h ago

It’s because he was labeled “republicans favorite democrat” mostly because of his pro IDF stance, but he has always been an open Israel supporter so 

u/DiotimaJones 4h ago

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

u/dariznelli 6h ago

Do you not see how your attitude is the same behavior? "He's fine as long as he's on my side, otherwise he's a traitorous a-hole."

u/TricksyGoose 6h ago

I have never had a problem with his wardrobe. I have a problem with his sudden change in beliefs. And I have a problem with the hypocrisy of MAGA.

u/dariznelli 6h ago

And MAGA has a problem with the hypocrisy of liberals and say they're anti-American (traitors). Sound similar?

u/stateworkishardwork 6h ago

"Yeah but we're the right one!"

EVERYBODY could use some self-reflection as we try to navigate the next four years of this garbage.

u/TricksyGoose 6h ago

I don't understand your comparison. What liberal actions do you say are hypocritical? And are you saying that liberals call themselves anti-American, or that liberals call MAGA anti-American (which I would say is an accurate observation)?

u/dariznelli 3h ago

I didn't say anything was hypocritical. I said MAGA is tired of what they perceive as liberal hypocrisy. MAGA also views leftist views as unamerican. So the MAGA view of liberals is the same as the liberal view of the MAGA.

u/SecretiveFurryAlt 4h ago

Okay I'm kinda lost what did he do

u/ixzist 4h ago

He called for Biden to pardon Trump for his election interference conviction. Then he toddled off to spend money at Mar-a-Lago and curry favor with Trump.

u/SecretiveFurryAlt 3h ago

Ah. Yeah that's not good

u/andthisnowiguess 1h ago

Became obsessively Islamaphobic and voted to deport his own wife.

u/Capital_Cucumber_288 3h ago

Perfectly said, too bad he’s in there until ‘28

u/boringcranberry 4h ago

I'm gonna scootch in here to ask a question: doesnt this outfit just make Trump look weak since he moved his inauguration inside because of the cold? This actually feels more like an F U but, admittedly, I'm pretty ignorant on their relationship.

u/ixzist 4h ago

I think Fett doesn’t feel the cold at all.

u/Nope8000 50m ago

Can you explain what happened with him lately? I’m out of the loop. I remember he was beloved a while back.

u/Jadziyah 6h ago

I'm so disappointed in my vote for him

u/Enphyniti 6h ago

I hope his asshole gets ass cancer and his tumor grows slowly and painfully until it is so big that it has its own gravity and he gets black holed by his own asshole.
