My interest in Brooks has expired. I did not click the link to his piece.
Remember his Bobos in Paradise, in which he rhapsodized about how pragmatic and nonpartisan was the Clinton constituency in the professional classes? Iirc I’ve previously posted this Note to Brooks: people seem pragmatic and nonpartisan when they’re getting everything they want.
I’ve read that William Buckley decided not to make Brooks his editorial successor at National Review. Thank goodness. It’s understandable that the current staff are no Bill Buckleys (who is?), but Brooks would have wrecked the magazine outright.
