David Brooks ("Marianne Williamson Knows How to Beat Trump") says this is no time for wonkiness:
It is no accident that the Democratic candidate with the best grasp of this election is the one running a spiritual crusade, not an economic redistribution effort. Many of her ideas are wackadoodle, but Marianne Williamson is right about this: “This is part of the dark underbelly of American society: the racism, the bigotry and the entire conversation that we’re having here tonight. If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days.Laugh all you want, you know, but I think there's something to it. I mean I wouldn't call it a "dark underbelly" (underbellies are usually pretty pale in most species, I believe), but don't we all feel something apocalyptic about this atmosphere? Psychic force, collectivized hatred, crisis, something hideous at our hearts that never dared to show itself before and now looks triumphant behind our incompetent and criminal emperor. Is it wackadoodle to see a cosmic struggle of some kind going on in the here and now?
