Donald Trump Hates America
The rest of us can love America well.


By David Brooks
July 18, 2019

So apparently Donald Trump wants to make this an election about what it means to be American. He’s got his vision of what it means to be American, and he’s challenging the rest of us to come up with a better one.

In Trump’s version, “American” is defined by three propositions. First, to be American is to be xenophobic. The basic narrative he tells is that the good people of the heartland are under assault from aliens, elitists and outsiders. Second, to be American is to be nostalgic. America’s values were better during some golden past. Third, a true American is white. White Protestants created this country; everybody else is here on their sufferance.

When you look at Trump’s American idea you realize that it contradicts the traditional American idea in every particular. In fact, Trump’s national story is much closer to the Russian national story than it is toward our own. It’s an alien ideology he’s trying to plant on our soil.

Trump’s vision is radically anti-American.

The real American idea is not xenophobic, nostalgic or racist; it is pluralistic, future-oriented and universal. America is exceptional precisely because it is the only nation on earth that defines itself by its future, not its past. America is exceptional because from the first its citizens saw themselves in a project that would have implications for all humankind. America is exceptional because it was launched with a dream to take the diverse many and make them one — e pluribus unum.

Thanks, IM, for a column by David Brooks. Since he publishes in the NYT, I very rarely get to read him. Dang those paywalls.

Yes, it's a shame you have to pay for content saying how bad capitalism is.

That's the problem, liberals think they get to decide what is racist.

Pssst, IM2! Brooks is a white guy.

And that's your problem punk. You try lying about me hating all whites when I only dislike mother fucking whites who are racists. Like you.

Say, are you ever going to get around to proving that? Because you haven't, so far.

dont hold your breath....he called me a racist for posting something maxine waters said about obama....she said it i get called racist...the guys a stroonge...

You were called a racist for using a tactic racists use. As for daveman, LOL!

You both are racists and I am not spending time look for anything. I don't expect whites who are racists to admit to it. You for example, can't understand how you thinking that repeating something from a black person to use as validation for an incorrect assessment of Obama is racist. Because had Obama done like Trump and just catered to blacks like he does to whites, all you racists would have raised holy hell. But you ignore that and the fact that Obama saved us from a depression, cut unemployment in half, dropped black unemployment almost 10 percent and created more than 6.5 years of job growth. But you say he did nothing for blacks and lookee, lookee Maxine Watters said it to so it must be true. That's just like one of these losers telling me that Thomas Sowell agrees with their racist views so they are right about blacks. Or the there is no reason why blacks can't make it, look at Oprah so my racist opinion is right about blacks and racism doesn't exist. Do you understand yet Dresden? Do you need to see more examples of what you did before you understand why I say you're a racist?

Because I have used studies primarily by whites but nah, I can't be right on that basis because that one white person cannot represent all whites. But you losers, well you guys can quote one black person that says what you want to believe and that's a majority opinion.

You lick yogurt off of hobos' feet.

I don't have any proof, and I'm not going to go look for it, but it's true nonetheless.

Dood. That's nasty. You a nasty yogurt licker, licking yogurt off nasty hobo feet.

So tell me your opinion of Affirmative Action dave.

Cute editorial OPINION. I am glad he considers himself to be a 'journalist' instead of a 'NEWS REPORTER'. There is a big difference, as CNN and their poor / tanking ratings have learned.

 

[IM2]

If Trump gets a second term, I am going to be laughing my ass off as I watch and read how each of you racist assholes look at America as we know it die. As your tax cut ends and Trumps continues while he and his rich buddies take more and more from you low IQ with no pot to piss in losers. And as you get poorer I will watch you lemmings continue to be race pimped back to the soup lines.

Who is that jerk? I agree that all three points are desirable. His opinion has no more value and probably less than mine.

 

[pismoe]

and don't bring up the female FRIDGE 'stacy abrams' or post pitures of her as she devours all sandwiches in sight . [cause that'd be racist and against da Laws eh IM2 ??]

 

[whitehall]

Everything points to Canadian born Brooks nervous breakdown in 2013 when his wife left him. He started researching medieval religious icons and and had some sort of religious epiphany and went to work for the NY Times as a Trump hater. Whatever he says about the President today is from the Times never-Trump point of view.

dont hold your breath....he called me a racist for posting something maxine waters said about obama....she said it i get called racist...the guys a stroonge...

But you say he did nothing for blacks and lookee, lookee Maxine Watters said it to so it must be true. That's just like one of these losers telling me that Thomas Sowell agrees with their racist views so they are right about blacks. Or the there is no reason why blacks can't make it, look at Oprah so my racist opinion is right about blacks and racism doesn't exist. Do you understand yet Dresden? Do you need to see more examples of what you did before you understand why I say you're a racist?

Because I have used studies primarily by whites but nah, I can't be right on that basis because that one white person cannot represent all whites. But you losers, well you guys can quote one black person that says what you want to believe and that's a majority opinion.

You lick yogurt off of hobos' feet.

I don't have any proof, and I'm not going to go look for it, but it's true nonetheless.

Dood. That's nasty. You a nasty yogurt licker, licking yogurt off nasty hobo feet.

So tell me your opinion of Affirmative Action dave.

You mean the program that says black people aren't good enough to succeed on their own without the help of white liberals?

The only question here is why do you support a policy that says you're going to be a failure no matter your best efforts, and you need the help of modern-day colonialists?

Have you no self-respect?
