Changes in personality certainly can occur after a stroke, or any injury to the brain. My Mother's family said that my dad was never the same after he had a head injury in an airplane crash in WWII. He did come from a very conservative family though. I see that Fetterman's parents were conservative Republicans according to Wikipedia. I doubt if there have been any studies on the politics of people after brain injury, especially related to their childhood home environment, but it might be interesting.
