David Brooks is supposedly the resident conservative on the staff of The New York Times. He's about as close to being a conservative as I am close to being Tiger Woods.
Brooks made an appearance on MSNBC last Sunday and came up with this gem:
“A lot of people in the expert class live in blue cities who are thriving,” he claimed. “And a lot of people left behind in the rural parts of America, they feel threatened economically, culturally, socially and they have no contact with the expert class.”
He went on to contend that “those of us in the expert class – journalism and academia – have to do a better job of reaching out in post-Trump, establishing relationships and showing some respect,” he said.
Brooks added that there also has to be economic policies “so people don’t feel threatened,” suggesting that the way to “cure distress” is by “keeping promises to people who are unlike yourself.”
What a pompous ass!
