They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren’t necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

Smart guy
However I don’t think he is calling for violence
The difference between a shithead like this, and any and all sane people, is that sane people could see this unnecessary shitstorm approaching from afar, while these stunted minds only seem to be able to see things only after things smack then in the face.
Fuck him, all his ilk and the greedy, myopic, ignorant goddamned boat they rode one.
In this case, you’re quite obviously “barking under the wrong tree”. Some people who call themselves conservative or moderate are quite capable of predicting what may happen.
Regarding the 2016 election, Brooks spoke in support of Hillary Clinton, applauding her ability to be “competent” and “normal” in comparison to her Republican counterpart, Donald Trump.[67][68] In addition, Brooks noted that he believed Clinton would eventually be victorious in the election, as he foresaw that the general American public would become “sick of” Trump.[67][68]
On the August 9, 2019, episode of the PBS NewsHour, Brooks suggested Trump may be a sociopath.
Not a secret, lifted from his Wikipedia page.
I would always advise checking a person’s background before saying things about them.
When we need to unite against a literal fascist, I’ll gladly stand with conservatives with whom I have serious policy disagreements. Telling them to fuck off will just strengthen Trump’s hold.
Once we’ve finished the fight against the MAGA cult, we can debate each other about policy without worrying about anyone getting disappeared.
We will need less insane conservatives on our side to correct this big orange mistake, so let’s not fuck him for the moment.
To he fair to Brooks (which I hate to do, since he is a shithead), he was very aware of the dangers of Trump and endorsed Hillary, Biden, and Kamala in the last three elections. He has even said that he was wrong about Bernie, and now acknowledges that his kind of economic populism is the only thing that could have stopped Trump’s fascist populism. That being said, he’s spent the last three decades promoting the kind of Regan-style neoliberalism and Bush-style imperialism that got us into this mess, so fuck him.
“Will someone please clean up this mess I made?”
Fuck you, David.
Anyone calling for revolution/revolt in America is a good guy right now. -Canada
We don’t want things to go “back to normal”. We want REVENGE. Heads must roll.
I want får more revenge than you can possibly imagine.
But the problem isn’t David Brooks, it’s the infinitely racist south who love fascists as long as it means they can brutalize anyone brown or otherwise different without consequence.
Before the party switch the Republicans were just greedy, now their greed pales in comparison to their lust for cruelty. That’s the southern way.
Sherman needed to keep going, for another decade or two.
Brooks has never given a damn about abuse of power or fascist rule. He’s just arguing to defend the status quo. He has the moral backbone of a fruit fly.
A more onion-y title would be something like “Conservative commentator quotes Marx, calls for mass protests and strikes”.
The actual title is more just !ironicorsurprisingnews than !nottheonion material imo
Edit: You’ve editorialized the title?
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from…
- …credible sources, with…
- …their original headlines, that…
- …would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Unless it was changed post-publication, the original is
Conservative NYT Columnist David Brooks Calls for ‘National Civic Uprising’ to Defeat Trumpism – Complete With ‘Mass Rallies, Strikes’
Imo that’s actually more onion-y than the changed title
