Quote of the Day (David Brooks, on Moderates Vs. a Narcissist Who Will ‘Reap a Whirlwind’)

“Moderates don’t operate from the safety of their ideologically pure galleons. They are unafraid to face the cross currents, detached from clan, acknowledging how little they know. If you have elected a man who is not awed by the complexity of the world, but who filters the world to suit his own narcissism, then woe to you, because such a man is the opposite of the moderate voyager type. He will reap a whirlwind.”—Opinion columnist David Brooks, “What Moderates Believe,” The New York Times, Aug. 22, 2017
