“His stroke freed him from his progressivism.”
Don’t you mean that it… *unfettered* him?
I’ll go now.
Stay.
As you should
Unfettered… and untethered, some would say
😆
just take my like and go
I haven't ever heard of brain damage making someone less conservative.
Yes... very interesting that 😂
Just another data point, Tila Tequila had a brain aneurysm that nearly killed her, her political views since then are... extreme to say the least.
@@brev653 also Roseanne Barr had similar situation....I think we are onto something here guys

Man would rather defend the indefensible than go to therapy.
When the meme is true
he is too far gone....hoping fetterman becomes a better man is a lost cause
@@YokaiXnope, it's material conditions. This has nothing to do with brain damage. Vaush is purposely lying.
@@bobloblaw6205 the battle for human evolution is a battle between those who have working frontal lobes, and those who have the brain morphology of dumb, predatory wild animals.
All because he said the attack on Israel by hanas was bad
It's kind of telling when you say brain damage made you conservative lol
In a neutral context I would feel sad for someone unwittingly admitting that because it's an instant self-report on the ideology... Like he fully doesn't realize how discrediting it makes his views look and that's probably due to the same brain damage.
That's true, but they don't realize it when they say things like that, or just don't care lol
"The stroke was hAmAs!!"
*- John Zetterman*
“They’re in the brain tunnels!”
hamas put chemicals in his water supply
@YokaiX This just in The IDF have confirmed HHÅHMÆS controlled tunnels in John Fetterman's frontal lobe
Saying the stroke freed him to do what he wants means he lied up until now and didn't intend follow through with any platforms he ran on.
“Mr. John Hyde-rman was freed”
How come we never see someone run as a hardcore conservative to get votes and then when they get into power switch and become a progressive and pass legislation that makes their constituent's lives better?
Nah, crazy people say crazy things. He could be lying about his previous progressive advocacy, to try to mitigate some of the major flak he's been catching.
That doesn't follow. There are lots of things people (anyone) would WANT to do but they can't or won't because of other conflicting motivations, like empathy, morality, laws, or obligations towards others. Since different parts of the brain process different types of motivations, if we 'lost' some parts of our brain that process these conflicting motivations, that would change how we process and act as a consequence.
Nah, people retcon their past thoughts all the time. It's hard to look at your past self and accept that you earnestly believed something different, much easier to convince yourself that you've always held your current beliefs but "I lacked critical information", "I had to lie about it because of outside pressures", "I was misled", etc.
He was probably telling the truth but his beliefs have now changed and he's retroactively decided that he was lying about his old beliefs. This doesn't make things any better, but if you used to support him you shouldn't feel naïve or gullible for believing him.
He must have lost his bit of his brain that had empathy
That's pretty much what he accidentally admitted. And maybe the part that deals with inhibition. Admitting brain damage caused him to arrive at his current beliefs and positions is immediately discrediting to those positions, but I don't think he even realizes that because of said damage.
He’s joined 95% of the population then. I blame the single-celled organisms tbh. They consumed each other in order to multiply, and that set the entire basis for living organism behavior.
@@jimmymcgill7370get help
man i feel so owned by these conservatives. also RIP the progressive part of John Fetterman's brain.
Why I would much rather have this guy then doc buy my dick pills.
Being stupid made him conservative.
That tracks.
bro materialism is proven, because we have so many people who got brain damage and completely changed personality.
No consciousness is magic and people live forever when they die. Old book says so.
How does that prove materialism? Brain damage changes how you process thoughts and information but it doesn’t change who you are
@@robonthecob6920clearly it changed who Phineas Gage was. It changed who Fetterman is, too
@@robonthecob6920 you are how you process information. That's basically all you are...
That's what makes you different. the pathways you formed are unique and they dictate how you process future experiences... you are the pathways that you make.
@William-Morey-Baker Im all for philosophy hour but this doesnt answer the question of how this proves materialism
He and RFK should join a support group or something
Wanna eat some tapeworms?
Therapy. You meant therapy lol
My step dad had stroke and died for a frw minutes, he's a shadow of the person he used to be. It's genuinely terrifying
It is, maybe even more for the family. 'We' are largely our brain processes and memories (which are recalled using those same brain processes). Sometimes recovery will happen over years so I wish the best to your dad.
He had a stroke and it collapsed the tunnels Hamas had secretly dug in his skull
💀
My youngest sister was in a bad car wreck. Multiple broken bones and she had four mini strokes. It changed her personality. She used to hate spicy foods, now she eats them with no problem, and she's much quicker to lose her temper and flip out when she gets upset or stressed. Strokes change your brain.
The spicy food part is interesting because actually our mouths don't "taste" spice at all, it's a sensory illusion created by our brains. Our brain interprets capsaicin as being something hot that burns us, even though it doesn't actually burn. We feel the sensations of burning because our body starts to "defend" us against this imaginary problem. Some animals for example lack this part of the brain that causes this reaction, so they can eat the spiciest food with no problem. I'm wondering if in the case of your sister, she also had damage to this region of the brain.
This is the post poetic and straight forward example of "conservitisem is brain damage"
and it's even more litteral then I was ever expecting
He’s so determined to be the next Kyrsten Sinema.
The fact it was from brain damage makes it more sad in way. Presumably the old Fetterman was not that person. While Sinema was always that way.
I wanna see his smug thumb-down curtsy 😂
Fetterman’s “Mr.Hyde” was freed is basically what we’re sayin
He has no empathy now only greed
And hate
I can’t freaking believe I supported this bastard’s campaign
If it was genuinely brain damage in a way it validates previous support, because once upon a time he was literally a different person with a different set of beliefs and policy views. And then parts of his brain died.
@@delos2279 I suppose you’re right but I can’t help having suspicions that he lied and misrepresented himself as a Progressive from the very beginning. He knew his working class “hoodie and shorts” shtick would appeal to us
@@yourgodismean4526 Could be, but then it's such a wild statement that brain damage made him conservative. I believe him on that. Because that claim and the joker quote doesn't serve him (or conservatives) in any way unless it's just his truth as he now sees it.
@@yourgodismean4526Honestly people like Fetterman are the reason why progressives don’t vote because this happens all the time people run as progressives than get flushed with all this cash then change once they get to congress.
The saddest thing is that Fetterman even he wanted to be like "I support Israel but stay progressive and true to my values everywhere else". Sure he would be called genocide denier but it could be argue he goes issue by issue. But giving up the entire progressive identity is just sad.
Progressive identity. JFC.
What makes him progressive again?
Lol wait so only progressives think there's a genocide? lol I;m pretty progressive and there's definetly no genocide occuring against the arabs in gaza.
@@RichOrElse Medicare for all mainly, but he's mixed on a lot of other things.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy I'm unconvinced about his commitment to that compared to his conservatism
That pretty much says it all
Fetterman surviving a stroke really embodies the quote “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”
Some people age gracefully. Sometimes strokes can see near full recoveries. The actual Joker quote he gave was more fitting. This is him, not everyone.
Hahaha! Love this title! "Hey, he had a massive stroke, prolly damaged his brain! He should be removed from office! Though, he IS startin' ta make a lotta sense..." Oh, Republicans.
Man got shot by the CIA brain damage gun.
Damage destroyed golem's empathy core.
I know it's just a theory, but this could create a very interesting hypothesis that could be proven with tests on people who have brain damage
"In this 20 year longitudinal study I took 5,000 marxists and subjected them to various states of brain damage. This paper will describe the extent of, and political ramifications of, such damages, ranging from mild concussions to frontal lobotomies..."
@@CorpusCallosum0 Just study football players from HS to retirement, with a control group of non-players that you remove from the control if they seriously bonk their noggin during the study.
I mean...yeah, that does check out.
God I fucking hate Fetterman
Why does this give me the "translate to English" prompt??? 😭 😂
He lost a lot of love
@@austin0_bandit05
Nobody:
Fetterman: "I am finally free from using my brain"
@@austin0_bandit05 the power of google ai to detect laguage
@@austin0_bandit05 Been seeing those too. That prompt isn't for us, it's for training the AI. Some(all?) of us are randomly enrolled in Google's AI alpha testers/AI training program. We're training the AI on what needs to be translated and what doesn't.
So he's not just an evil clone?
Kinda like how Fred Flintstone becomes a different character when he gets bonked on the head
Same thing happened to Russian Federation Kennedy Jr after he got a literal brain worm
literally that one old youtube comment like "had a brain eating amoeba once poor fella died of hungry"
Well as a Philly voter I can confidently say "I'm voting for the 2nd stroke."
4:18 What should also be pointed out regarding campaign finances/bribery is that its more often an issue of threatening to get financing *_withheld_* from your campaign, not offering to *_give_* it. This has a part of AIPAC's bullying efforts on Dems for years.
Strokes are different for everyone. But when my grandmother had one it entirely changed her personality.
I believe that he was always like this. I think that this near death experience made him decide to show his true colors.
does he genuinely not remember running explicitely as progressive? like the stroke messed with his memories
It's complicated because recalling memories may involve those same brain processes that he may have lost. Like loading a color image on a screen that only displays black and white, if that's a good analogy.
But also he may recall how he felt in the past but no longer has the capability to processes things that way. So he might remember but simply doesn't agree with his previous views. Probably a combination of both.
I’ve said this. The stroke killed any empathy he had left. Made him a sociopath
Reality imitating comedy... Wowzers 😥
Yeah, ya definitely have brain damage if you think having a stroke makes you better in any way lol.
that tracks
CIA conservative stroke gun got him...
My TBI calls Bullshit!
Major personality changes are very common with strokes. Can easily see that from a quick Google search. This is a really sad situation for everyone. His chief of staff just quietly resigned and so did his longtime aide Rebecca Katz. This follows all the other staff resigning and the staff even condemning him on Twitter and in an open letter last year.
If someone literally tells you that their politics are no longer the politics that they were elected on them they should lose their office.
Brain damage really does do things like this.
I wish we could re-elect the representative slot tho, if you person you chose becomes someone else entirely seems weird you’re stuck with them
The problem is the brain damage predates the political run, so he lied knowingly and intentionally, and used it to glean sympathy votes. All of the yikes.
@@isabelmcgaugh711 Yea it's inconvenient he's in the Senate for over 4 more years. Presumably he's not going to win again or at least the same people won't support him again. It's also possible he will see more cognitive recovery over this time--it can happen with strokes--but that's probably cope on my part...
And yet, since my stroke at 20 years old, I've become more progressive. Checkmate, Fetterman
built different
Younger people recover better. So you Built Back Better. If he wasn't in the Senate I would just feel bad for him.
Shouldn't Telly Savales work on the Kojak reboot?
It’s wild the amount of power we just hand over to these people without proof of sanity.
And we wonder why things are so messed up all the time. 😅
Who would've known?
Hate when that happens
This explains everything!! So funny
psyc major here who took some neuroscience classes
the case of brain damage that i think you're referring to is where Phineas Gage was impaled through the skull with a metal pipe from a construction accident and survived, but was a completely changed man afterwards being more crude and impolite, that case was linked to frontal lobe damage in the brain which in Gage's case was physical, but in Fetterman's case, if the stroke happened around there, it was probably cell death in key places that managed the more empathy/civility/higher reasoning areas of the frontal lobe.
RIP John Lefterman. You were cool while you lasted.
Kind of sad considering how pre-stroke Fetterman might think of the person he became after.
The battle for human evolution, in the modern day, is a battle between those who have working frontal lobes-and those who have impaired/non-working frontal lobes.
Honestly, it's probably more like:
1) He got scared of losing his reelection due to opposition from lobbyists, so he decided to support their interests.
2) Supporting those interests put him in hot water with his supporters. He had to choose between continuing to support those lobbyists or deciding to go against them. Fearing what those lobbyists could do in the upcoming, and not knowing how much support he may have lost, he decided to support the lobbyists again.
3) He continued to get put into increasing hot water with his supporters. At that point, he likely thought he was in too deep. Now that he was in too deep, and would thus never regain the support he lost, he probably figured that he should look for an entirely new group of supporters and/or make bank while his term lasted.
4) He was originally supposed to be an extra Senate seat to push Democratic and Progressive agendas. This extra seat would have given people like Manchin less kingmaker power. Those that very much didn't want such policies pushed through needed a way to equalize this Democratic and Progressive victory.
That made him a high person of interest for those lobbyists as well. Now that his support went sideways they had a new opening to bring him to their side, either by offering large amounts of money, aid in finding new supporters, or both.
Sounds about right...
Son of Sam if he became a Congressperson. "So anyway my neighbor's dog told me to support Israel."
3:52: Campaign contributions are not SUPPOSED to function like your own money, but some states have such loose campaign finance laws that after a campaign is over, you can legally just dump whatever's left over in your bank account.
No it was definitely the money.
makes sense
I live in Pennsylvania and I'm proud that i didn't vote for Dr.PissDrinker or Caveman.
Enjoy your precious elections, Pennsylvania!!
Remember when the conservatives said he couldn’t be a senator and that he shouldn’t be one because of his stroke? They were right.
I've been saying this for years.
damn, cool black shirt, good look!
In terms of behavioral association and neurological basis for political stances, the #1 most associated emotion to Conservatism is Disgust. There have been studies from NIH, various universities, etc; and even in this consistently repeating pattern, the conclusions aren't particularly definitive as the methodology has come into question. More than a particular emotional state, the most definitive correlations to political leanings are wealth, education ,and other socioeconomic metrics.
More generally it's amygdala activity ('reptile brain'). Disgust, anger, fear, anxiety, threat generation/classification, base emotions and the like. We see the same brain area activity in highly religious people (fundamentalists), or religious 'thinking' generally.
0:26 he become Jokar??? 😭 😭 😭
Nice jacket, Vaush. The color suits you too
6:25 what seemingly everyone never seems to remember is McCain voted no on repealing the ACA because, "it didn't go far enough." The bill wasn't Draconian enough for him. Everyone needs to stop acting like he had a sudden visit from The Ghost of Christmas Future.
Sounds like Chris Griffin
O my gad, he amit it
Wait, so do conservatives like him now? Because before they couldn’t stop whining about how he was unfit because of the stroke, but now he is on their side because of the stroke haha, you can’t make this up.
Brain damage can turn a person into a pedophile too. Very well documented in the literature. We should keep an eye on Johnny Fett.
Two face origin story moment
Guy got Kevin Sorbo brain.
Joe Fetti be the new Phineas Gage!
Jon "Phineas Gage" Fetterman
I think even before the incident from what I've heard Israel has always been like THE issue where he has taken a non-progressive stance on it... And then with October 7th it became a big deal in the news...
In all seriousness. I think getting brain damage can impact your ability to process empathy. That can make you individualistic.
still dont know about a single position Fetterman has ever changed opinion on
I think he's less socially progressive now
@@goose9515 what exactly?
80’s movie plot ah politician
Thinking about Fetterman and Sinema, maybe progressives in the US need to evaluate better who they support and have clear boundaries on their support.
Maybe their selection process is overlooking some criteria.
Mick Wallace is everything we wish Fetterman was.
Based
This is how Tolkien would've written the creation of Orcs, if he wasn't a racist Christian.
There was one guy who was like a banker and after an accident he lost all interest in working and just did art all day / made paintings. He seemed very happy too. So it doesnt always make you angrier I guess.
I knew someone who had a stroke and couldn't remember how to say any proper nouns, but he could write them, look at them, and say them. The brain is wild. He recovered in a few months, which is why neuroscientists rush to study stroke victims to understand how the brain works. (see, "The man who mistook his wife for a hat")
Strokes makes you confused and full of anxiety sometimes. It happend to me.
I got a concussion playing football and I became more progressive after that. I wonder if there is a deeper reason why outside of brain damage?
For further reading: see founder and owner of RVCA clothing.
On a theoretical basis, brain damage could make Fetterman more conservative, but there's no way to say that with certainty without having access to his medical files. As far as I'm aware, he hasn't said where the stroke happened in the brain and I'm not sure if he's even said if it was ischemic or hemorrhagic.
The only thing I've seen him say is that he's had issues with his auditory processing which makes me think the stroke was most likely temporal. If not temporal, maybe parietal or thalamic, but I'd put my money on it being a temporal stroke.
Either way, the only type of the three that could cause more aggression is temporal, but it could just as easily cause more passive behaviour. Whether either of those could cause someone to become more politically conservative is kind of toss up. Honestly, I think it could also make you more progressive.
If he did become less progressive as a result of a stroke, it's much more likely that it was related more to the recovery period. From experiencing of recovery from brain damage, there is lot of frustration and anger involved and that gets aimed at yourself, at the world and at the people around you. That is more likely to change how someone thinks about the world than them struggling with anger issues as a result of brain damage.
You're also probably rethinking how you think about life as well; near death experiences will do that to you, even when you're eight years old.
He might also just be using it as a shield for the financial corruption. Oh, it's not the money being paid to me to make less progressive that's making me less progressive, it's the brain damage.
Family court system is not biased
Yeah no shit
"There's a line from the first Batman, the Joker says"
Oh, so he's been watching those Alpha Male Joker videos on TikTok.
That actually does explain his drastic shift.
It's not the overactive Amygdala that is the problem! The problem is with the smaller less active Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Cingulate Gyrus sections of the brain, affecting ones ability to think critically.
The conclusion of Conservative vs Liberal brain was a Conservative scientist literally incapable of understanding the smaller, less active ACC and Cygulate Gyrus is the issue, and not the overactive Amygdala, creating too much fear and aggression, fight or fight response.
Without the ability to think critically, the individual will be morally challenged to the point of being extremely dangerous when elected to office.
BRAIN INJURY?
Tucker Carlson called it. Lol
Cognition ability is correlated with political views according to the research we have. Where lower cognitive performance correlates with authoritarian right views and vice-versa. Basically the more often you are able and willing to think, given you don't lack emotional intelligence (otherwise you'll probably be generally more apolotical) the more you are likely to research, retrospect, correct your views and well think about policies, implications e.t.c.
Thus what he describes is probably: "Finally, I am now thinking less and it's more simple to be right wing and don't care much abt anything that requires thinking and I can't even realise it's bad bc I don't have an ability or willingness to think abt it as well."
John Fetterman is the next Bob Menendez.
TBI = freedom?
I have heard that conservative brains literally look different when they are scanned, so it's possible that this stroke changed his thinking.
I hate anyone who would quote a batman movie. give me a break.
