What some of us have always known. They are not principled or ethical. They have no lofty ideals, they're just petty, vindictive, garden variety bigots
You have to ask sometimes, why is it so important for them to "own the libs?"
I don't want to own MAGA. I want them to get good pay, good healthcare not attached to their employer, cheap college, safe roads and a chance to retire.
Brooks has a romanticized vision of conservatism that makes it sound like it's a compassionate philosophy built on incremental progress.
It's not. It is now, and always has been, a regressive worldview built on hoarding wealth and stopping progress. Then, to assuage their guilt, they do charity.
David is a liar.. he saw this coming.
He literally was brought in to fill Dinesh's shoes at Dartmouth..after DiNesh co-created the LGBTQ movement.
Ya know..DiNesh..the 'Reactionary' Dave emulated....
Fake News. Brooks has never been a Conservative one day in his life.
What makes me sick is folk on the Left allow Democrats and media to lie to and manipulate them like this and ..never...literally never... call it out.
I read the entire opinion piece. While he makes some salient points, David Brooks doesn't have it in him to leave the bothside-ism behind.
It's how we got here.
Kudos to David Brooks' finally awakening. But he's been asleep his entire life if he's just figuring out now the true underlying designs of his valued conservatism.
In my lifetime, political conservatives have never cared for the poor. They work solely to wrest power from the Democratic Party of FDR

The same as I want for every person.
