That the money backers of the MAGA Republicans want to dismantle the administrative state, dissolve SS, destroy (public) education, sell off the commons, and basically create a no-regulation type of market for the owner class. They don't explain this to the portion of their support base that are mouth breathing morons who attend these loony churches like the one Brooks visited. Obscene wealth must be taxed to the hilt. SC must be balanced and Citizens United needs to be trashed legislatively. Citizens who conspire with foreign malefactors to undermine our elections should be penalized - severely. Contracts withdrawn. Prison time.

These fuckers are just going to keep coming back until the disincentives start to bite them - hard.

Great summary of the dark money force's machinations. Very much appreciated.

A brief rant at David Brooks, millionaire columnist at the New York Times:

Over the many years you've been wrong time after time. You're NEVER right. I can set my watch by it.
Clinton, Jethro Bush, the market crash, Obamacare, Romney, you're always wrong.

Then TFG came along.

This year third-generation immigrant Trumpf has used you over and over like a rancid handi-wipe. And you got paid for that use. You got paid to look down your nose at him, your particular function at the Times.

David Brooks (who lives in a fortified garden) makes a commentary today that Americans live in walled garden. What a revelation! This is the sort of writer who actually uses the disparaging phrase "flyover country" in his editorials.

Occasionally, you deign to dip your toes in the waters of flyover land, David, savoring the edible food and always making a big thing about how the people are "authentic".

What did you discover in a christian nationalist church? That members were honestly moved by their sincere religious beliefs?

GOOD CHRIST, MAN! The residents of Salem, Massachusetts colony were honestly moved by their spiritual beliefs. Jim Jones's believers drank poisoned Flavor-aid because of their sincere religious beliefs. The Pharisees and Sadducees were honestly moved by their spiritual beliefs. Where does it F&*KING END?

David Brooks, you should be careful when you include yourself in a group which wouldn't have you.
