"80-year-old grandpa who has been slowly ruining the legacy of his filmography" isn't really someone whose political opinions I trust very much. I don't think I'd even trust his memory of last week.
To be fair, I think Scott has always been a bit of an idiot that lucked out with his works. Kind of a film equivalent of Alan Moore, where he doesn't actually understand what made his films as good as they were just like Moore doesn't understand what made his comics good.
FTFY

Spending the 80s yakked out of your gourd will do that to you.
