Opinion | The G.O.P. Is Rotting
David Brooks of the NYT says the Republican party is failing when it embraces Trump's version of populism with its racial division, tax plan that favors Republican donors and ignores fiscal conservative concern over deficits that affect future generations, supporting the election of Moore in Alabama, the constant Twitter comments that show prejudice. He says this will have destructive effects that could last an entire generation. This isn't the Republican party he has known for so long, says Brooks.
The time is passed says Brooks when sensible republicans could go along in the middle by not agreeing with Trump, yet avoiding the task of opposing the elements of Trump policies that conflict with America's long held ideals shared by both parties. He calls its a corrupt deal that Republican party leaders in the Senate and Congress have agreed to make with Trump thinking that somehow this will all work out for them even if it doesn't for the party. Selling one's soul is somehow not an option that people would take in their right mid, so he wonders aloud what is happening in the party- and calls it a rot besetting the party of Lincoln, TR and Eisenhower that won't get it to any good place.
The future for conservatism and the Republican Party as seen at the American Enterprise Institute in 2016 with the popularity of Trump
01/27/2016
A resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute says the Republican Party and conservatism have missed the problems facing the working class, leading to the popularity of Trump. He sees dangers in the deportation of 11 million Hispanic Americans that Trump has called for, and says conservatism and Republican ought to mean many positive things to working Americans that have missed out on opportunities in the last decade- that it will take many years and more than one election cycle to change this. In fact Speaker Ryan called for a forum on poverty and inequality for working class people, only after Trump increased his popularity by appealing to older white Americans left out by changes in the economy in the last decade.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
