A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

    His constituents voted for him. He dressed exactly the same then as he is now. His constituents are his clients and they approve of this uniform. I sense it has something to do with the fact that it connects with them as it’s genuine. Something that seems to be rather important to Senator Fetterman.

    Perhaps we should rethink the literal centuries old understanding of what is or is not appropriate to wear in this setting.

      That is a very good point. A business certainly wouldn’t send a salesperson in a three piece suit to try and pick up the business of construction workers if they were smart. Need someone who won’t stick out like a sore thumb.

      Though, I suppose if you think of the voters as the boss, and the other senators as the people being marketed to, then maybe a dressing to the nines to convince them might be the right move.
