The GOP’s once sure-fire odds to retain their Senate majority in the midterms are looking bleaker every day, but according to a new report from Politico, some in the party are plotting a “coup” that could save them from a complete wipeout: flipping John Fetterman, the increasingly ostracized Democratic senator. Fetterman was first elected to the Senate from Pennsylvania in 2022, besting the Trump-backed Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz and helping Democrats defy the odds and grow their majority in the chamber. Initially styling himself as a working-class progressive champion, he has since made a major shift away from his own party, voicing support for various initiatives and nominees from President Donald Trump and breaking the Democratic minority on several key votes.

    that post identifies that there are a number of politicians who don’t reason, think, or debate Netanyahu’s “Israel”.

    Their explanation for it is kompromat: blackmail.

    Their argument is convincing.

    Please see that Fetterman is described, in there, in a way which does suggest either ideological-possession or kompromat.
