Agreed, weird AF. He went from constructive self examination to, well, we are still right about that monster Trump. I had to re-read it several times, but I realized he left himself an out... "As a card-carrying member of my class, I still basically trust the legal system and the neutral arbiters of justice." The word "still"... At this point, he can't admit anything [his class] does from a legal perspective against Trump is wrong, lest he loses [his audience], aka the target audience of this article, which is NOT us. The Overton window has been shifting towards our perspective at an increasing and alarming rate for [them]. I think this is is Brook's attempt at a warning to [his class]. Too late, as in 2016 too late. Hence, NCSWIC, nothing.
That is weird. The last paragraph seems disingenuous, like he doesn't really mean it but feels compelled to say so.
Yeah, like he's covering his butt.
You're right....it is Weird...Sounds like he's just seen the light and then slips back down again...😏🤔

It's confused...
Who the literal fuck even TALKS like this—besides narcissistic psychopaths unable to perceive how supremely douche-soaked it makes them look?
And they try to paint Trump supporters as out of touch with reality...just more projection
