Stupid Is as Stupid Does? “There Is More to It Than That”
John Fetterman A BIG MISTAKE |
Welcome to Pennsylvania, America's Capital of Stupid
Students of American history will remember Philadelphia as the first capital of the new United States of America after the ratification of the Constitution. That city was the center of American politics and political life, but ten years later it lost that distinction to the swampy lands of Washington in the District of Columbia. On June 11th, 1800, Philly faded into the background in favor of Washington. Power had shifted, and the state reverted back to its trade, commerce, and agriculture. Pennsylvania's namesake, William Penn, was a prominent writer and Quaker and the state is in his debt for his efforts to make it a showcase for commerce. Penn's son, Thomas, came to Pennsylvania in 1732 and during the nine years of his stay there he successfully negotiated the sale of 1.2 million acres of land from an indigenous Indian tribe to the new province of Pennsylvania. He died 15 years before Philadelphia became the capital of that state (or commonwealth as it adopted the British term).
Pennsylvania is a very diverse place, and it is a state with a bifurcated political landscape. Most of rural PA is conservative, but hardcore liberals populate its cities. The state is an energy state with abundant resources, and it is home to a prestigious private ivy league research university, the University of Pennsylvania (located in Philadelphia) along with Carnegie Mellon, Swarthmore, and Villanova. It's proud of its working class and its historical intellectual prowess, but the recent mid-term victory of a bumbling, oafish hipster politician John Fetterman, over a medical doctor of national repute is puzzling and reflects the rampant spread of stupid.
This week, the citizens of Pennsylvania stole the loving cup of stupid from the citizens of another politically calcified state, New Mexico -- one that has consistently voted for Democrats in over nine decades of its political life. The distinction and trophy for 'Capital of Stupid' now rests with the citizens of William Penn's home with the election of Democrat John Fetterman to the U.S. Senate. Why stupid you say? What is wrong with John Fetterman? It's simple. Fetterman has never held a real private sector job in his life (he is currently lieutenant. governor of Pennsylvania). He has enjoyed financial support from his parents for most of his adult life. He prefers hooded sweatshirts and arm tattoos to conventional business suits and claims to be for 'the little guy.' Prior to becoming the lieutenant governor, his only other job was as Mayor of Braddock, PA where he did nothing to improve the town's condition. (It is thought that the town actually improved after he left office.)
Fetterman suffered a stroke in May of 2022 which left him with an auditory processing disorder that affected how he handled information and how he spoke. His opponent, a well-known television personality and respected medical doctor, Republican Mehmet Oz, was at a distinct disadvantage. He couldn’t point out the obvious about Fetterman's inability to understand and speak (and how that would disqualify him from being a senator) but had to tread carefully lest he stimulates a 'sympathy vote' for the man. To compound Oz's problems, Fetterman refused to debate the doctor until the eleventh hour on October 25th, only two weeks before the election after thousands of mail-in ballots had already been cast. Had many of those early voters seen the debate they would have viewed a severely, physically-compromised man struggling to string together a coherent sentence and stay on message.
Does that make Pennsylvania voters stupid? In a word, yes. Stupid because they chose political ideology and a deeply flawed candidate over a good one. They chose to perpetuate a status quo that will cost their state hundreds of thousands of jobs, do nothing to stop the millions that are crashing our southern border, ignore the mounting crime rates in Pennsylvania, not to mention the entire country, and ensure that America becomes dependent on foreign oil producers.
Dr. Oz ran a respectable campaign. He avoided calling Fetterman the bumbling, bungling oaf and radical Leftist that he is while making a strong case for fiscal responsibility, energy independence, and personal accountability in government. None of that mattered, however, to the voters in Pennsylvania, because stupid had set in and shared a seat with partisan Democratic politics.
No one really cared about poor John Fetterman. Not his wife. Not his party. Not the President. Not the voters. All that mattered to the Pennsylvania and Washington Democrat power brokers was the magic number of fifty-fifty Senate seats. Fetterman was just a useful pawn on the Dems' chessboard, a placeholder and a reliable vote for more of the Biden administration's failed policies.
This race, more than any other in the 2022 mid-terms, serves to illustrate how American power politics has evolved, and it reveals the lengths to which ordinary voters will go to sabotage their own self-interests -- and their futures -- all for the sake of more ruinous policies perpetrated by other incompetents in positions of power. And that, my friends, is the textbook definition of stupid in anybody's language.
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. -- Plato (429-347 BC)

What an accomplishment, the Marxist/Democrat/Hate America Party did what Caligula wanted to do but was assassinated before he could appoint his horse to the Roman Senate.
What a laughing stock in America and Pennsylvania! Fetterman does fit right in with the other clowns that constitute the so-called Biden administration.

The author portrays a bit of stupidity himself. The voters of Pennsylvania voted for Oz and Mastriano. Just like they voted in a large majority for Trump in 2020. The author, being a bit stupid, forgets to mention that Josh Shapiro is the sitting PA Attorney General overseeing the legal processes and the current governor, Tom Wolf, is a Democrat and the current Secretary of State was appointed by Wolf. All Democrats. Not being stupid, I can tell you that the voters most assuredly did not choose Shapiro and Fetterman. That choice was made by the Democrat Party vote counting machine. And this same cheating was done all over the country, in different amounts, but mostly in states with the Democrats controlling law enforcement and the governorship. If the author was not stupid, he would know this. It is hard for Republicans to win when Democrats always cheat. Now, one could fault the current RNC chairman for not doing enough to change the rules since 2020. Fair enough. But it was clear Trump won the 2020 election and lost only because of the cheating. Does this author think the 2020 US voters were stupid too?

You are ignoring the fact that there were actual people who voted for Fetterman (and Biden). The fact that he remained on the ballot given his current mental disabilities, that there were people with his signs on their lawns, and that plenty posted on social media that were voting for "women's rights" surely goes to show a large amount of stupidity in PA. And as a Pennsylvanian, I'm both disgusted and embarrassed by it. Was it enough to win without cheating, most likely not, but we cannot deny the idiots that actually cast real votes for the goon, as apparently they know no shame as they get on their knees and feed the establishment beast.
