      1. Do we have enough a pity in our hearts to shed a few tears for orphaned centrists like David Brooks & Andrew Sullivan?

      2. Brooks & Sullivan came to prominence during the 1990s, when a centrist consensus seemed like the inevitable future of American politics.

      3. Now both parties are moving away from the centrist consensus: GOP embracing white nationalism, Dems more open to social democracy & identity politics. Brooks & Sullivan are left homeless.

      4.Having no political home, Brooks talks about forming a third party. The problem is that his version of conservative centrism would appeal to, I'm guessing, 1% of the population (mostly newspaper editors & billionaires).

      5. A Third Party of Brookists & Sullianites is absurd. There's another path: retreating to the woods.

      6. There's a tradition within libertarianism called "retreatism" -- going back to the land. Centrists like Brooks & Sullivan should follow:https://newrepublic.com/article/147088/case-retreatism-trump-era …

          The Rod Dreher "Benedict option". Co-ed monasteries in the unreconstructed South, a life of contemplation and prayer leavened by the writing of books and the occasional gourmet trip to France.

          If you are saying they should stop writing (or being published) , I agree.

          This is such bullshit. Brooks and Sullivan have been conservative republicans for 30 years. Not moderate, strong conservatives. Stop rewriting history.
