Hating David Brooks is a passion project, but every so often his wet-toilet-paper brain leaks something so noxious it makes me gasp. Few better manifestations of the utter moral vacancy of the liberal mind than this, which could have been written about Hitler himself www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/o...

In the end, it’s just painful & rude to be surrounded by such astonishing thinkers & writers so courageous & admirable & morally clear & the people charged with governing our fate can’t think or write clearly or courageously or admirably or in the end morally. Like, ask us to help.
