, not the “distrustful populists” and “less-educated classes," as he described them, are the bad guys.
He also correctly notes that the educated elite use language as a class barrier. Words such as “problematic” and “Latinx” serve to exclude and punish the culturally inferior. The shifting norms around language baffle and alarm the non-college-educated masses.

The nonelite understand perfectly well the problem with a news media that blows one major story after another, including the three years it spent frothing about Russian collusion only to produce bupkis. Brooks, who admits to being a “card-carrying member” of this class, deserves credit for pointing toward this dysfunction.
Perhaps nothing justifies scorn toward cultural elites more than the increasingly open disdain they demonstrate toward the most beloved blue-collar professionals: police officers and soldiers. It’s impossible to overstate the damage the ubiquitous taunt"All Cops Are Bastards" had on the perception of progressives among blue-collar people. The elite once honored these professions, at least when it suited them, such as in the aftermath of 9/11.
