David Brooks Is A Cuckservative

All of the hallmarks:

Brooks began by saying, “The question, to me, is, are we going to speak out in a way that is actual dialogue and conversation, or are we going to drift into tribal thinking? There’s been a lot of rancid overgeneralizations in our society, that all African men behind the wheel are dangerous, that all Muslims are somehow involved in terrorism, that all cops are somehow at war with communities. And if we can speak in a way that’s not tribalistic, that’s not making these generalizations, then we may make something out of the current moment. But I’m not always hopeful after a bad week like this one.”

He later added, “[W]hen people are in a period of bad mood, then they want to hunker down and protect. And that’s the exact opposite from what we need now. And let’s be frank, it doesn’t help that we have an American political debate with basically one all-white party. And that just means we fall along very polarized lines, when we fall into the normal default position of politics, that we fall along racially polarized lines. And we have to acknowledge that’s an inherently dangerous situation, given everything else that’s happening.”

Capitulation, negotiation, “tribalism is bad,” ingratiation with the out-group, denigration of in-group as being too homogenous and over-generalizing, the need to find common ground, “bad mood” is bad, hunkering down and protecting is bad, the opposition is always right or at least has a point, polarization is bad, and the king of all, use of the word “dangerous” to describe not capitulating to the out-group.

This is the rabbit psychology. If the cops stopped policing, this would be the first guy to get down on bended knee, and beg them to protect him. He will never boldly stand up to evil, he will never pursue a pure good. He is the definition of Cuckservative.

The problem is morality cannot survive when idiots like this approach every “conversation” as if it were an opportunity to appease to avoid a conflict. Once it gains one appeasement, evil will simply keep demanding conversations to gain further appeasements, and with each appeasement, evil will advance. That is exactly why evil is so ascendant in times of r.

As the last post discussed, more whites are killed by cops than blacks, despite blacks having higher crime rates. So far, almost every shooting has involved an individual who was at least highly suspicious, even including the latest in Minnesota who was initially presented as a law-abiding gunowner, who it turns out had a criminal history and almost perfectly fit the description of a wanted armed robbery suspect.

#blacklivesmatters is not only wrong intellectually, it is actively promoting the killing of Police Officers, and supporting thugs who victimize innocent people. But Brooks doesn’t have the balls to stand up to them. Instead, he wants to appease them, to avoid a conflict.

The nature of the world is a battle, between good and evil and between right and wrong. Either one will win and one will lose, or, as Brooks would have it, evil will advance its agenda, and be able to come back again later to advance its agenda again.

Trump needs to call out the Cuckservatives when he takes office. Letting the media promote these characters as conservatives, so they can espouse the liberal line and demand conservative capitulations is untenable. It may be a great racket for the Cuckservatives, but it is devastating to the movement. The party has rejected their ideology, it has rejected all of their candidates, and now the President the party elects needs to reject them publicly and aggressively.
