The genocide funding/inhumane immigration bill is doing just what I thought it would- the Democrats that openly support the bill are having to refute their progressive status they once claimed.
John Fetterman, the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, was interviewed yesterday and stated that he is not a progressive. His chief of staff parroted this claim and even went on to say that Fetterman has been consistent on his immigration policies and his lack of progressive policies. While the entire article painted Fetterman as a rogue liberal, it was a disingenuous approach that did not question Fetterman’s previous stances on immigration or campaigning as a progressive.
Not only did John Fetterman change his stance on immigration, he also stated he was progressive in his campaign ads that solicited money. Now the senator is attempting a bit of the two-faced nature that the Biden administration employs, saying he can support immigration while also “restricting the flow of immigration.” The immigration policies that Biden is now endorsing are not just about “restricting the flow of immigration,” but completely putting any flow of immigration on a stand-still while also arresting undocumented people without hearings and trials. Fetterman is trying to downplay the policies that both he and Biden are endorsing in order for them to fund the genocide in Gaza.
Again, just like the shock over the president’s conservative ideologies, everyone is shocked over Fetterman’s switch to a conservative stance when he has been leaving a trail of crumbs indicating where he truly stands for the last few months. He is definitely a fierce follower of President Biden and will support whatever the president supports, then admonish anyone who does not agree with the president. Fetterman is a cog in the fascist autocracy and is set to attack anyone who dares question their authority.
It is frustrating that many people wrongly categorize Fetterman and Biden as liberals. The NBC article about Fetterman paints him as a liberal seeking his own path. NOPE. Please stop labeling Democrats as progressive or liberal. They are not liberals or progressives, they are conservatives. The entire party is a conservative party and should be rightly categorized. These two politicians just so happen to be even more aligned with extreme conservatives.
The biggest proof is that the GOP is loving everything Fetterman and Biden are endorsing. Their new fanbase is secured and those fans are conservatives.
Even the other democrats from Pennsylvania think there is nothing wrong with Fetterman’s conservative policies and harsh rhetoric. This also further proves how truly conservative the Democratic Party actually is, when most of the Democratic Party members do not see any fault in the conservative policies or approaches, it is safe to say it is because they are so conservative they do not see any issue.

Everyone who supports genocide, take a step to the right...
