"As Donald Trump makes it extremely hard to think about supporting somebody like that, I find the Democrats have done an outstanding job of making it hard for a lot of moderates to support anything," Brooks said. "Personally, the idea that I could ever support a candidate who was in support of the Green New Deal, that will never happen. That could never happen."
"The Green New Deal concentrates power in the hands of the Washington elite in a way nothing has done since World War II," Brooks continued. "It would literally have Washington planners taking over the energy business, taking over the transportation business, so no planes are possible or necessary, taking over health care."

The extreme radicals are dividing the Democratic Party much worse than the Tea Party fragmented the Republicans. I love it. Maybe someone will step up and run as an Independent, i.e., a Democrat in moderate clothing, and fragment the vote even more. It looks good for Donald Trump. However, if the Democrats somehow manage to win it may be time for Civil War II.

Because they'll never be a'conservation' P again.
Correction here, the devil as it were is in the details. The Green New Deal would only apply to the masses. The elites would be exempt from any burdens or restrictions a "Green New Deal" would impose, and certainly justifications would be given as why different rules applied only to them.
ReplyDeleteI hope Mr. Brooks will think very long and hard about the Democratic Party is left of Che Guevara and then take it to its' logical (and historical) conclusion. As I see it, once the Democratic Party has total control of government - The Republican (the Jelly Fish) Party ceases to be, an American version of the Gulag Archipelago will be a certainty. What liberals like Mr. Brooks does not or refuses to understand is the same agency that went after his enemies (those who disagreed with his politics) will at some point turn and go after him. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn records, innocent people were arrested and found guilty of crimes they did not commit, solely so that a monthly quote would be meet. What Mr. Brooks does not yet grasp is that it does not matter how insane AOC's Green New Deal is, it is a vision of utopia. Attempts will be made utopia a reality regardless of the consequences of lives lost or destruction to the environment and the economy. They, the Lefties will have usual excuses of why thing failed (e.g. "that wasn't REAL Socialism"). We are living in interesting times.
