From Fox News: One famed filmmaker and playwright spoke to Fox News about his transformation from a “brain-dead liberal” to his journey into constitutional conservatism.
Film director and playwright David Mamet, known for writing the stage play “Glengarry Glen Ross” and its film adaptation, opened up about his political values during a Thursday interview on the “Brian Kilmeade Show.”
Mamet discussed how he got “kicked out of the left” about 25 years ago and what led him to discover his right-leaning values. He noted his past comments referring to himself as a “brain-dead liberal” and urging for political civility in an article he wrote, resulting in many of his leftist peers losing contact with him.
“I didn’t know any Republicans, so I didn’t understand what conservatism was,” Mamet said. “Then I got kicked out of the left, and I started researching what the constitutional conservatism was about, and I got very, very interested and very excited about it — here I am now.”
“I discovered my conservative beliefs because I discovered everything I thought and believed about the Democratic Party was false,” he said.
Mamet is optimistic about America’s future after the 2024 election of President Donald Trump.
“America is self-correcting again, as we saw in the election,” Mamet said. “And the red states are thriving.”
