Milquetoast acceptable conservative David Brooks just injecting a straight racist-panic talking point into his column because that's how fast the respectable discourse has agreed to go that way

NYT Republicans were never any different from the rest of the party, they were just more insidious for having mainstream liberal credibility.

If you actually thought the first part was true you couldn't possibly think the second part was a bigger problem. An AI could write a better David Brooks column than David Brooks can

Brooks helpfully clarifying that DEI is bad both because it leads to more Blacks getting hired, but also, he astutely observes, because it also leads to more jobs that Blacks can potentially be hired FOR.

I have never understood his appeal to normal people & outlets. He does a weekly thing on NPR (or used to), and he never sounds any smarter or more interesting than a voicemail greeting. Just glorified “well it’s complicated and we’ll have to see what happens,” over and over, no matter the subject.

David Brooks' job is to polish the turds the right-wing wants to disseminate. From the time he sent his mendacious tweet about food costs at LaGuardia, it was clear that he's been a chronic liar. People who meet him say he's not intelligent.

Only a truly despicable shirt-and-tie racist like Brooks could think up the concept of DEI anchor babies in order to launder the idea that it is generally agreed that DEI is bad. It is not agreed upon except by people who think the 737 Max incident was caused by the existence of black people.

David Brooks is the voice of the Pinch regime at the Grey Lady. The greatest hilarity, imho, is the ascending firewall around the reportage which is the last claim to any vestige of relevance. Pinch is likely counting on an oligarch to buy him out. It will need to be an eleven digit fiend.

It is true that conservatives complains about it. It's not true that DEI is a 'dangerous ideology.' Aside from being insufferable, Brooks is also a terrible, incoherent writer.
