How the Elite rigged Society (and why it’s falling apart) | David Brooks


by Rod Williams, Feb 27, 2025- This is good. In this short video David Brooks speaking before the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship explains what went wrong with society. He says the elites, and he in a self-deprecating humorous way explains that he is a member of the elites, have privatized morality and destroyed the social moral order. 

He says the elites also gave us "populist" like Donald Trump and J. D. Vance and Elon Musk. He explains that Trump and his team are not conservative. Conservatives, he says, believe in gradual change, in constitutional governance, and norms. Brooks speaks of the moral and cultural crisis facing America and the importance of embracing humanism in these dark times.      

David Brooks is a long-time conservative spokesman, bestselling author, columnist for The New York Times, and a contributor to The Atlantic. He is also a commentator on The PBS Newshour.
