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.

The poor bastard. No, Trump is ripping you apart from the bottom. He is ripping you a new one. So you now have three of 'em: the one you were born with, your new one, plus you ARE one.
Those who could count were at the square root of 24 - pretty close to five and completely irrational.
Some are called "scholars" who just read and report on liberal writers from the 20th and 21st Centuries.
Is the JEWISH David Brooks telling us that ACB. The CATHOLIC, is DANGEROUS???Come on. Boy!
Poor david having to drink a box of wine and eat a half gallon of ice cream on election night.
Sounds like Journo-List 2020 <<<
Sounds like a MSM Conspiracy Council Meeting to me!!!!!
“We the People” have become too dumb to be trusted with the “VOTE”......We proved it in 2016!
The Elite must Rule!..Have they ever actually read or studied the Constition?.......Its worse then I ever thought it was...
>> that would be an incredible waste of the worlds best gun lube. Whats wrong with you?<<

Its in the middle. I didn't note the time
“The real physical violence will begin the day Trump is declared the winner.”
All the violence will be in rat, liberal cities. Buy popcorn.
“...we will see a level of psychological violence that we just haven’t seen since 1865...”
Interesting that 1865 is the year Lincoln was assassinated.
If we are to transpose the two time frames, as seems the intent here, then
there wouldn't be psychological violence.
There would be psychological exuberance instead.
We gotta stay loose around her.
It seems to me this is a subject where one must choose ones words carefully. Your post, to put it gently, did not meet that standard
