        Brooks says he came of age in the 80s. The 1880s, I assume.

        You beat me to my punchline. He must not have been listening to any music of the era or somehow missed the burning Reagan effigies

        I teach college students for a living and I have no idea what David Brooks is talking about. Instead of inventing hypothetical college students in his mind and having fake conversations with them, maybe he could just...talk to some actual college students

        Same. This genre seldom seeks out substantive views from faculty, administrators, and students about what they actually do the majority of the time and why they do it.

        Unlike white supremacists, students are very hard to find in the wild. And they're very shy about expressing their opinions. It takes real Woodward and Carl Bernstein skills to talk to one directly.
