And that’s basically it!
He is an honest person, but has had a lifetime of being honestly wrong about almost everything. Even with the mea culpas, he still apportions the blame for our current situation completely inappropriately. That said, I agree we are not in a position to turn away imperfect allies and I applaud him for trying to do something with whatever miniscule influence he retains.
When people say "you used to be able to have honest debate with the other side," David is the only one who in my lifetime that may have been true for.
Well, no, because honest debate recognizes truth and Brooks has fought The Obvious Truth for decades so he can perch in his comfy conservative cheerleader costume.
His bullshit has been nasty for decades and PBS happily smeared him all over their news broadcasts for just as long.
I won't have any part of either now, because of that. Hooray he's vaguely cognizant that Shit Do Be Fucked but holy god man, what a complete fool.
