There Are Empty Suits, Hollow Vessels of Men, or Hoodies in Fetterman’s Case

There is a type of man walking the halls of power who has nothing in him worth respecting. These are not leaders, not thinkers, not stewards of public will. They are hollow vessels—empty suits, empty hoodies, empty-headed marionettes dancing to the tunes of donors, oligarchs, or worse. They speak when spoken to, vote when told, and shrink from any principle that might cost them advantage.
This isn’t about appearance. A hoodie can house a lion, just as a suit can hide a coward. But when that hoodie is filled by someone like Fetterman, whose affectations of authenticity mask a void of vision, we should be honest about the emptiness. And when the suit is filled by someone like Trump, the hollow becomes dangerous—because it is not just empty, it is compromised. He is not simply a narcissist or a conman, though he is both. He is also an obedient servant to greater power: a witting Russian asset, shaped by years of financial entanglement and ideological submission. What fills that hollow man is not loyalty to country or creed, but the whispers of oligarchs and the interests of an enemy state.
In this age, where appearances are crafted and media is gamed, it’s not enough to judge by performance. We must ask: who writes the script? Who feeds the lines? When men like Trump shout, who benefits? When men like Fetterman sulk or shrug or play the everyman on camera, what is left unsaid behind closed doors?
The truth is that hollow men—whether dressed as populists or post-partisan pragmatists—are always useful to power. Because real courage takes substance. And these men have none.
