@patrickrhone David Brooks is, shall we say, evolving. I am not sure liberals are giving him enough credit for this, choosing instead to attack him for his past views rather than looking clear-eyed at what he’s writing now.

@apoorplayer Agree. I think his wife is having a positive effect. With Brooks and Klein both calling for revolt, we may be seeing a change in the media weather.

@apoorplayer I’d say that piece is more radical left than most on the radical left are saying. Never thought I’d see the day when David Brooks would be riffing Karl Marx but here we are.

@apoorplayer Yep. Actually pairs well with Rachel Maddow’s spot about how the backlash and calls for revolt are diversifying and expanding in ever growing directions.
