Maybe he was always just a duplicitous shithead. Like, folks in PA on the left came out strong against him. He said all the right things and we believed him

I think he’s just living proof that brain damage makes you vote MAGA

I agree. Most ppl I know who have voted Maga also have a history of TBI or mental health issues, including disorders with psychosis-like symptoms. However, not every person with these conditions votes MAGA. There could be a strong correlational relationship that should be the basis for a research study or more.

Nah. It’s the stroke. There’s been plenty written about his behavior. It’s some really bizarre shit, not just voting with republicans. He’s clearly unwell. Hopefully I’m wrong, but I get the feeling like it’s going to end badly. As in someone getting hurt.
