WARNING! David Brooks has admitted that he lives in a wealthy bubble and to rectify that he plans to break out of his New York Times cocoon and travel down the Heart of Darkness to mix with the hoi polloi.
What caused Brooks to issue his bubble admission was the rise of Donald Trump whom he had previously discounted. So before getting down from his high horse to possibly mix with the peasants at your neighborhood sports bar Brooks, with a massive chip on his shoulder, declares his moral superiority:

Another way to say this:
Brooks leaves the Ivory Tower to tell the plebs why they’re wrong.
David Brooks should join with his fellow Canadians Charles Krauthammer, and Ted Cruz, and go back to Canada, and leave us in peace.
Bubble? I suppose that's *one* way to put it.
It’s really difficult to find an article where you hate every single word, as well as the author. I just found one. “Smug”, “insufferable” and “pretentious” do not begin to describe this loathsome girly man.
One of those who had it too good for too long ....
He took a job from Bill Buckley but in retrospect perhaps he should have chosen an entry level position at Fort Benning...
“David Brooks Admits He Lives in Wealthy Bubble and to rectify that he plans to break out of his New York Times cocoon and travel down the Heart of Darkness to mix with the hoi polloi.”
It won’t work: elites like that are always encased by their elitist “wealth” bubbles no matter where they go or what they do. Elitist bubbles are attitudinal not locational.
Looking forward to meeting him at the local White Castle.
(not holding my breath)
Liberals like Obama and Hillary especially believe they are morally superior.
Go live in the ‘hood, davey boy. Detroit, maybe
Sounds like he’s going about clinical trials, or something, but at a tractor pull:
“I’m going to FIND OUT about THEM..!”
That’s even more insulting than he was before, which was already pretty insulting.
It’s like, as with butterflies, he’s going to push a pin through you, and put you in a shallow glass cabinet, with an affixed label.
I think I’ve never encountered such a consummate snob.
Everybody make sure you have a sexy crease in your pants!
David really likes that !
There ought to be a reality show of “Snob swap.” Get elites in hollers and trailer parks, small towns and hoods. For a week. Man, that’d be a hoot.
In the old days it was just called “goin’ slumming’”.
Maybe he’ll write a book about it.
.
You mean he is going down to the Bronx to hang out, or is going to cross 110th street and see how real people live?????
Hundred bucks says before this is over Brooks gets pantsed and Drudge posts the pictures.
I am not taking that bet and I have no interest in seeing the picture but I’d love to hear the story.
