They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren't necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

The difference between a shithead like this, and any and all sane people, is that sane people could see this unnecessary shitstorm approaching from afar, while these stunted minds only seem to be able to see things only after things smack then in the face.
Fuck him, all his ilk and the greedy, myopic, ignorant goddamned boat they rode one.

    To he fair to Brooks (which I hate to do, since he is a shithead), he was very aware of the dangers of Trump and endorsed Hillary, Biden, and Kamala in the last three elections. He has even said that he was wrong about Bernie, and now acknowledges that his kind of economic populism is the only thing that could have stopped Trump's fascist populism. That being said, he's spent the last three decades promoting the kind of Regan-style neoliberalism and Bush-style imperialism that got us into this mess, so fuck him.

    We will need less insane conservatives on our side to correct this big orange mistake, so let's not fuck him for the moment.

    While I agree, you're assuming the opportunity to fuck him won't pass once moment is over and he won't be enshrined as "one of the good ones" and allowed to continue making big, colorful mistakes so long as they aren't orange ones.

    When we need to unite against a literal fascist, I'll gladly stand with conservatives with whom I have serious policy disagreements. Telling them to fuck off will just strengthen Trump's hold.

    Once we've finished the fight against the MAGA cult, we can debate each other about policy without worrying about anyone getting disappeared.
