8. Fetterman is obeying in advance to a tyrant and is betraying his oath
Thu Jan 9, 2025, 07:38 PM

Read Timothy Snyder book on tyranny. One of the first things that happen as democracy falls is oligarchs support the dictator in advance. This has already happened. Next, weak opposition try to kiss the dictator. Fetterman is doing exactly that. This also means he has no conviction or backbone. He says he is here to serve PA and that includes MAGAs. Well, is he saying he will rather side with a tyrant MAGA in PA who votes to destroy democracy rather than fighting for democracy? He is saying that. This is a warning. Fetterman will also become a laughing stock. Dems wong trust him and come elections, MAGAs will support a MAGA. This is Manchin 2.0. I am waiting to see which Dem has the guts to fight Trump. No, you cannot support parts of a dictator's agenda if you love the country and democracy. If is your job to make sure dictatorship fails, Trump fails.
