If this sounds like a rerun, well, it is.
As you all know, this little blog has been pointing out for longer than I care to think about sober that Mr. David Brooks has been using his column in the The New York Times to pretend that the Republican Party -- his Republican Party -- does not, in fact, exist at all.
Now you would think that making an entire political party simply disappear, bag and baggage, would require years of arduous practice, enormous numbers of pulleys and mirrors and trap doors and suchlike, a small army of highly trained assistants and split-second timing, but you would be wrong.
Instead, as Mr. Brooks has demonstrated over and over and over again, all that is required is the simple incantation of the magic words, "Shoo! Shoo! I don't know you!" --
-- and just like *that* the entire Republican Party vanishes --
So rather than repeat this post from five short months ago -- "David Brooks And The Amazing Disappearing Republican Party: Part 1,001" -- in its entirety, today I will lean on this delightfully compact tweet from the redoubtable Boswood to make the point yet again --

David Brooks And The Amazing Disappearing Republican Party: Part 1,000-- a wave of the mighty Elderp Wand which comes with gift-wrapped in every Beltway pundit's goodie bag --
-- and just like *that* the entire Republican Party vanishes --
The Amazing Disappearing Republican Party-- in a puff of Both Siderist stink.

Dear NY Times: Please fix the spell check function on DF Brooks Word app. In a column about the decline of the last 50 years, Word apparently deleted the word "Republican," the key word for such a topic. @DougJBalloon @Mr_Electrico @nomoremister @Yastreblyansky @bluegal

-- and remind you yet again that Mr. David Brooks of The New York Times is a genuinely awful person who has made a fine living enabling Republican monsters and lying about politics for more than 20 years.

Disappearing republican party is not within the realm of my vision. Even using binoculars.
The rebranding to QANON as the TEA Potters usefulness denigrates . Time to rebrand, new and improved marketing for the same vile but polished to tingle the same human hateful triggers to pull when needed.
"DF Brooks"... I love it! I sort of see it as an indicator of your reach into the intertubes and such. Many times when I have typed "David Brooks" into one comment or another I have been met with the rejoinder "You mean David FUCKING Brooks?"
