David Brooks on Trump voters

[89th]

Makes sense, and for some reason, I immediately thought of @Mik and @LuFins-Dad here, among others of course. The link should work without needing to log into Instagram.

The only thing I’d take exception to is his downplaying the MAGA base.

First of all, it’s (probably) his sample bias showing when he says ‘most Trump voters are…’. I’m guessing no one in his neighborhood has attended a Trump rally except with a press credential.

But the other reason is the Trump voters he described would have rather voted for (say) DeSantis. If it were up to the people he describes, Trump wouldn’t be president because he wouldn’t have won the primary.

Only if they thought Desantis or someone else had a serious chance. They didn't and never did.

What were they wearing?

It's good to hear Brooks at a slightly dialed down fever pitch of sanctimony. He has not always sounded like that over the past years.

I certainly would have preferred DeSantis. But I don't vote in primaries.

Me neither, but it was able to open up for me.
