BROOKS: ".... Yes, I was in a call, a conference call, with a bunch of scholars and political observers yesterday, and we all said, how scared are you, from one to five? And we were pretty much at 4.5. Some people were at nine and 10.I have never been more pessimistic about where this country is than I am right now, I mean, in my whole life. We have had a bad few years with the social fabric fraying. We have had a president ripping us to top from the — ripping us apart from the top....
And I think he (Mark Shields) makes the core point. I mean, the two moments that I think I'm most afraid about is, one, election night, when we're sitting there and it looks like Trump is ahead, and what that psychology does to the country ....
And one of the things we have learned is that our system depends on the goodwill of the players involved. And if that goodwill isn't there, then the spiral of accusation and animosity and enmity — I don't think we're going to see physical violence, but we will see a level of psychological violence that we just haven't seen since 1865.

And just how would “psychological violence” be different from what we have endured for years from progressives, dims, commies,
et al?
Dear David Brooks & Friends:
On a scale of one to five how much do traditional Americans hate you and your type? Answer: ‘A Thousand’...
Sincerely
Trump supporters
Amen to that...
I think the rioters should be more fearful of “Mr. & Mrs. Normal America” than they presently are. I saw online that BLM stands for burn, loot and murder, and that is getting very close to actual truth, and I don’t think “Normal Americans” will put up with much more.
So more psychological violence on Nov. 3 and 4? Okee-dokee; by then, I'll probably be comfortably numbed to it.
DANG!
Anything we can do to help intensify your emotional anguish Davey?😎
And if I say “basically” a few more times, my hands will fall off, and my keyboard will split in two.
Does Brooks still sleep with 0bama’s “well-creased trousers” under his pillow?
Is that similar to saying "we on the left are going to have our minds blown away" if Trump wins?
Hmmmmm...1865. An interesting choice of year.
Big highlight...the Emancipation Proclamation.
Is he worried the people who are mentally enslaved to the Democrat party will be freed and the party (like slavery) will be a thing of the past?
Just thinking out loud here...
Fernando and Matt Bracken were talking about this on their 9/25 live stream.
Biden's supporters are busy burning down cities ...they don't have time for rallies. Beside looting pays more. Have Brooks and Shields considered most of the democrat base never finished high school and/or college.
“ The tears CONTINUE to be delicious! Like fine old wine.”

No, no, no! You don’t drink those tears - that would be an incredible waste of the world’s best gun lube. What’s wrong with you?
Do you have a link for that, or at least the podcast’s site? Thanks!
“I think the rioters should be more fearful of “Mr. & Mrs. Normal America” than they presently are.”
Normal Americans are aging out. No one I know (regardless of tough talk) is going to leave their nice suburban home and wife and defend themselves against rioters. Especially now that DA’s everywhere call it murder if you are un-woke but also unwise enough to defend yourself.
“I don’t think we’re going to see physical violence, but we will see a level of psychological violence that we just haven’t seen since 1865.”
Yep,
Democrats havent been this angry since Lincoln freed the slaves!
I want to see more videos of distraught Left-wingers weeping and wailing like those in ‘16.
On a more serious note: the Left equating how we make them feel with violence is a route for them to justify violence against us.
"... the president is bringing us together" and "(the president)’s doing a phenomenal job and he has my vote. Absolutely".
Note: Alisyn Camerota tried real hard to not have an expression/reaction to what those voters said, but she couldn't help a few twitches here and there. (Links can be found here. I also saw it elsewhere but forgot exactly the site.)
WOW, the NYT has become a total rag with all this “worrying, scaring, warning that their worthless male (?)
reporters are experiencing.
What a bunch of cowards safely ensconced in a Yellow crap newspaper with NO credibility.
Hate to say this, we will be lucky if there is a clear winner by December 15, 2020 much less Nov 3rd. There might be a person ahead in the Electoral College on Nov 3rd but this won’t be any indicator of who will be the winner.
