If people are uncomfortable watching Fetterman publicly adapt to his recently acquired disability and using assistive technology to live his life, fuck them and fuck their discomfort. This shit would be perfectly normal if society as a whole hadn’t spent the last longest doing its level best to make sure people with disabilities stay out of the public eye unless they’re serving as the occasional slice of inspiration porn by making sure the ADA remains mostly unenforced and generally just making the surrounding environment as inaccessible as possible either through unawareness or just plain stupidity. Mostly stupidity. And spoiler alert: people with disabilities navigate society and life despite these people, not because of them. Should Fetterman be elected, he’ll be able to do his job just fine, and probably better than most of the little shits in Congress, provided he gets the accommodations he needs which he is entitled to by the ADA everyone is still doing their best to make sure is unenforced. Everyone who’s uncomfortable watching Fetterman might want to sit the fuck down and ask themselves why that is. Because it sure as hell isn’t Fetterman’s fault. He’s not the problem. The people who are uncomfortable are.
