What is going on with John Fetterman and his wife right now?

Summary of the Fetterman sitch here:

Basically, he is still struggling with recovery from the stroke and mental health in general. He’s also got the pro-Palestine crowd out to get him. Then, he has Democrats worried a run at re-election will go the same way as it was going for Biden and they don’t want to wait until it’s too late again.

His moderate positioning is good for the general but as things stand he is going to be primaried if he runs but the new nominee might be worse for the general. So they just want him to fuck off.

last I heard his primary current mental problem was that he was leaning populist and figured out ORANGE MAN BAD wasn't going to work?

You know what...
The Empire was based. It brought order to a war torn galaxy, created numerous jobs, construction programs. Fuck, does anybody remember Luke wanting to join the Imperial Academy before Obi Wan showed up? It brought prosperity to poor planets like Tatooine even. Based picture Trump. Swing that red lightsaber.

That’s always been a problem I’ve had with Star Wars on a narrative level, you never see the empire do anything actually evil. The closest is destroying Alderaan, but they were harboring rebels and actively working to topple the government, by all means treason. The people of tattooine didn’t seem particularly oppressed by the empire either, and they’re the only civilization we actually get to see. And clearly Lando was still able to have a political career on Bespin.
It really just boils down to hatred of the color red, the color black, and the concept of an empire in general

According to Terris, Fetterman continues to struggle with the burdens of his office and in January, days after Trump’s inauguration, melted down with despondency over whether or not to support Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s now-embattled Secretary of Defense. Ahead of the vote, the senator, according to a staffer, raised the possibility of abandoning DC and refusing to vote at all. He also “spent part of the day locked in his office, fighting with Gisele and crying while FaceTiming with staff,” according to Terris’s reporting.

I kinda assume all democratic senators are like that every day though.

This guy is very "the ends justify the means" pilled. Deciding on if a war was justified or not should be decided on how it started, not how it ended. You can be justified in starting a war and still lose or have a bad outcome long term. The US was justified in supporting local governments fight against USSR/CCP influence we just didn't take that fight far enough.

I don't think it's crazy to say that adjusted for technology, life was better in 1910 than 2025.
Russia could have ruled the 20th century with a population of 500 million plus, then the Bolsheviks came and squandered it all.

I don't think you want that. Typhoid, small pox, polio, and tuberculosis would kill a minimum of 25% of your children. There is a reason asylums were common at the time. Where I live we have stories of the Catholic church throwing the crazies on an island and letting them play PUBG with rocks.

Bolsheviks under Lenin if he lived longer and, God willing, appointed Trotsky we might have seen a passive Soviet Union. Granted the USSR would still have a hate boner from the US supporting the Monarchy but I believe there could have been a tolerance of each other an some trade. Also we both would hate the British Empire so maybe we could have united via hatred of the British.

“War kills people so it must be bad unless its ww2” is their entire world view.
