My response to #RossDouthat, the #Token #Trump #watercarrier in the #NYT on his #FluffPiece about #UFOs and #Aliens

It is this peculiar cultural predicament -- the combination of disillusionment with stability, radicalization with stalemate, discontent and derangement with sterility and apathy -- that I keep calling decadence. ...as we usher out the 2010s, this decade of distrustful stability and prosperous despair, it has no rival as the presiding spirit of our age.
-- Ross Douthat (NY Times (Dec 28, 2019))

The #nytrimes needs content warnings. I was halfway through a poorly labeled opinion piece and thought "who is this idiot?" and of course had wandered into the #rossdouthat section. I don't mind them having a diversity of voices but please please label the crap so people can step around it.

So here’s MY hypothetical, if there was a therapy, treatment or cure to conservatism, would Ross take it?

It's so hard for me to say Ross Douthat instead of Ross Douchebag

#RossDouthat is just... worthless. He's such a manbaby, whose entire worldview is predicated on not him liking things and calling that a societal problem. The #NYT smears itself with shit every time he has a column.
