I did not have "David Brooks -- yes, that David Brooks -- is more serious than Democratic leadership about stopping Trump's fascist agenda" on my 2025 bingo card.

It’s brave of David Brooks to come out for a movement that would, among other things, make lying wrong again as that would end his career. If he’s willing to make that sacrifice for the public good I applaud it.
It general I've seen that never-T**** Republicans are way more fired up than Democratic leaders about stopping T****. I don't know why this is but I'll take it. Unfortunately there's only a handful of them in the media, even fewer in government. And of course zero anywhere near the executive branch.
I've suspected for a while now that a lot of the democratic leaders are intentional controlled opposition squatting in positions of power to keep anyone interested in real change from being able to rise up.
Strange days, indeed. But if Brooks is finally allowing himself to admit frankly what was unutterable to conservatives? I think we're making progress to impeaching the President.
For real this time.
At first I wanted to say he took a left turn a few years ago, but on reflection I think he stayed normal-conservative while the Republicans went fascist around him.
In fairness, Brooks is more a fiscal conservative than anything, has been vocally anti-Trump all along, and has been getting called a RINO for ages. It IS infuriating that the Dem leadership has been such a limp dick in the face of all of this, though. Schumer needs to GO.
well - all these never Trumpers helped get us here with their support of 45 years of economic neoliberal Reaganism including Reagan’s racist and anti-women’s choice, anti- LGBTQ+ policies - would like them to say a few Mea Culpas as they join the Antifa side 😉

He's 10000% right though.
Thanks #SCOTUS
For real this time.
That is his only motivation here.
