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.

This article feels a little disingenuous and seems written by someone who has only heard their friend complain about David Brooks. In his book "The Second Mountain," Brooks goes into his mea culpa moments. He has on more than a few occasions admitted his errors. I would share citations, but it was a library loan and it's on hold.

Those of us who protest against power, aren't we looking for exactly the kind of change of hearts and minds such that Brooks is showing?

He’s one of the very few conservatives I feel respect for. I may not agree with his takes but believe that he is thoughtful, honest, and filled with integrity. His opinions are reasoned and rational. Wish he were a progressive, we’d think of him like Bernie.
