Generally speaking, the first word said to those who step off the Trump-train should be,
“Welcome”.
There are exceptions to every rule: in this case we’re speaking of someone who has stepped on and off the Trump train dozens and dozens of times. It’s getting old. His columns in the NYT would intersperse occasional attacks on the GOP with specious defenses of the same, generally delivered via a myopic attack on liberals. This thread provides an example:
David Brooks deserves no moral plaudits because he has absolutely no moral authority. All the same, “Welcome to the never-ever-Trump-hater team David. Let’s make this mercurial positioning permanent.”
David Brooks is an ultra-liberal hero, the anathma of all that is MAGA. I say this because Brooks is 100% opportunist, and once you capture the opportunists you win.
ETA: Ok, I’m about halfway through the article. Typical Brooks positioning, utter horseshit, I stand by my conclusion:.there are useful idiots and useful oppotunists and Brooks is the latter.
