In an August 1st opinion piece for the New York Times, David Brooks once again demonstrates that his grasp on basic American principles is shockingly weak. Mr. Brooks has built an entire career writing smooth words to draw adulation from the Manhattan cocktail set, while reciprocally assuring them that their modern liberal values -- vacillating and untethered though they may be -- are morally superior to any known alternatives.
In “Marianne Williamson Knows How to Beat Trump,” Brooks, in his signature fashion, simply assumes the moral high ground -- not through the measured steps of rational argument -- but through haughty admonition. The problem, he insists, is Donald Trump: “we are all subtly corrupted while this guy is our leader.” The solution, he contends, lies in defeating him: “it falls on the Democrats to rebuild the moral infrastructure of our country.” To Brooks, Trump is the poisoned font of our moral degradation: “This election is about who we are as a people, our national character. This election is about the moral atmosphere in which we raise our children.”
Really? Is that what this election is about? Hmm. I would have thought this election is about how 23 of the 24 candidates are advocating for an America that is no longer rooted in fundamental American principles. I would have thought this election is about how Socialism -- with a capital ‘S’ -- has finally found its host-body in one of America’s two major political parties. I would have thought this election is about the unraveling of American values (writ large, through the willful defiance of actual, existing laws); not the unraveling of American values (writ small, through the willful defiance of good manners, as they pertain to the petty and vindictive art of cyber politics).

You said it.
ALL DEmocrats are VILE, EVIL, VICIOUS, LYING DESTROYERS of good people!! They are IMMORAL!
David Brooks is a perfectly pompous, worthless, lifeless fool.
I’m sick of this sh$/ from these racist supremacist people who alone call themselves elites.
Asking the Rats to rebuild our moral infrastructure is like Dr. Frankenstein giving life to a monster.

In fact he's just a washed up anti Trumper that probably bites his pillow at night.
David Brooks is the NYT version of Republicanism.
“It falls on the Democrats to rebuild the moral infrastructure of our country”.
Sorta like making O J SIMPSON the Czar of battered women’s shelters.
The Dems cannot SPELL morals, much less prove they have any morals.
“Brooks is a fake, phony, fraud.
