It's a little bit hard to pivot back to dipshittery at such a fraught moment in our collective history. So we'll take it slow, kinda ease back into it.
As careful readers of this blog know (I'm not aware of any, to be sure, I just like the purple prose), we've got a political mancrush on Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman. The hulking man of the people, no-bullshit, weed-legalizing, hypocrite-mocking, common sense-making Fetterman is having a bit of a moment. And it seems he's looking to strike while the iron's hot:
It's not exactly clear from this tweet by Fetterman's wife Gisele, but the big fella is exploring a run for Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022, when Republican Pat Toomey's seat will be contested. Fetterman has previously been linked to a gubernatorial run, but it seems he's setting his sights higher.
No bullshit here. As we try to regain our footing as a people after being staggered by the past four years of outrageous misconduct and fomenting of the worst of our impulses by national leaders, we need actual truth-tellers and real, capital S public Servants in office. Fetterman strikes me that way. Nobody is perfect, and we do ourselves a disservice if we insist that our leaders are. I'm sure oppo teams will surface things about Fetterman that I won't like. But I do like him.
You can send the merch to me, and I'll distribute it, Team Fetterman.
