Darrell and David have both been getting themselves into some ‘good trouble’ recently, fighting against the existential threat of white supremacy. I’m kidding. These guys are both gigantic sacks of shit.
I’m a conservative. I’ve never called myself a Republican. If you’re wondering what is wrong with Republicans like David Brooks, the problem is that they are primarily Republicans, not conservatives, and also they are intellectuals. They are tribalists who embraced the Republican brand as their team and intellectuals who just want to put on their pajamas, drink hot cocoa, and dig into the issues.
As such they never really gave a shit about real life conditions or the size of the government. They only cared about having a fun time at debate camp with their fellow douche bags.
When Trump showed up, the tribe that they identified with was forever damaged because Trump is an annoying ding dong and they didn’t want to be associated with an annoying ding dong. This ruined debate camp (politics) for them, which in their view is just a frivolous and superficial exercise that they use to occupy their useless non-contributing lives. So they abandoned all of that and now they support Darrell Brooks-style anti-Americanism to own the cons.
Here is the sentence from David Brooks’s last piece that inspired me to rip his nuts off.
“Conservatives are supposed to prize local community—but this orientation can turn into narrow parochialism, can produce xenophobic and racist animosity toward immigrants, a tribal hostility toward outsiders, and a paranoid response when confronted with even a hint of diversity and pluralism.”
It’s really the last part. Imagine what a dogshit psychopath you have to be to think that conservative Americans have just recently been exposed to a hint of diversity and pluralism and they are reacting poorly to this barely discernible hint. You cannot live on this planet and legitimately think that.
The border is wide open, cocksucker. That isn’t a “hint of diversity”, that’s lawlessness. It’s not xenophobia to oppose Democrats degrading our society. That’s like accusing a girl of misandry because she’s mad that a guy groped her boobs at Walmart.
Opening the prisons and kneecapping the cops is not “pluralism”…….well okay technically it is pluralism. However, previously we excluded people from society if they showed a penchant for robbing and raping. I guess technically we are more pluralistic now that the David Brooks is embracing anarchistic anti-Americanism and crime as a way of lashing out at the rubes who tarnished his old brand.
Conservatism does not need intellectuals. I mean that literally. Just as you don’t need intellectuals to form a persuasive argument against raping children. This is not a tough question. The government has a monopoly on force to defend you. That’s it. Conservative intellectualism just provides cover for the shittiest people on earth by pretending it’s actually debatable what government should do and where.
