In discussing "therapeutic" culture, where we're too "coddled" to face the "real world," Brooks never mentions Trump voters, in their own therapeutic bubble of lies, obfuscations and conspiracy theory.
Many conservatives are coddled in a comfy blankie of lies, obfuscations and conspiracy theory. Fox News essentially acts as free day care for aging white right-wingers. Its viewers are constantly assured that harboring their darkest impulses about women, people of color and people with different sexual and gender identities is completely understandable, even proper. After years of this steady diet of malign disinformation, they trust their authoritarian cult leader more than their religious leaders or even family and friends.
