Democratic Sen. John Fetterman to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman will become the chamber's first Democrat to meet with President-elect Donald Trump since the election, and plans to travel to Trump’s private resort in Florida.
Summary
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) will be the first Democrat to meet with Donald Trump post-election, traveling to Mar-a-Lago.
The meeting reflects Fetterman’s growing willingness to collaborate with Trump, whom he praised as a “singular political talent.”
While emphasizing his commitment to representing all Pennsylvanians, Fetterman has supported some Trump policies and nominees.
Once a progressive icon, Fetterman has shifted to a more bipartisan approach, drawing criticism from Democrats while rejecting divisive rhetoric, including Vice President Harris’s labeling of Trump as a “fascist.”

I mean I just read an article that said 200,000 US Americans got long covid per week in December.
When you realize how much brain damage COVID is causing worldwide, it makes sense why fascism is on the rise everywhere
It was on the rise around the first time donvict "won", too. Maybe covid brain is accelerating it...
Fascism is on the rise because Russian intelligence has been pushing it into the mainstream media of the West for decades since the fall of the USSR. As one of my professors who was ex-KGB put it in 1998 "lots of my former colleagues are still very angry that their society was just destroyed and want revenge onthose nations celebrating that fall".
The wealthy in the USA at least have never not had a fascination with fascism on some level so it was easy to push them towards accepting it.
Fascism kicked off in 1922, just 4 years after the 1918 Influenza pandemic...
You're giving people too much credit by assuming that the default state is anything other than stupidity. We are apes slinging shit at one another and we always have been.
