"This is one of the most epic comments I’ve ever read anywhere online. It was posted by user soxared040713 over at the New York Times in response to an Op-Ed by David Brooks rationalizing the collapse of his beloved Republican Party.
In this one comment, soxared040713 took down: David Brooks, Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, The Bushes, Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, Dick Cheney, Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Paul Ryan… all in one fell swoop.
You have to read this comment for yourself to appreciate just how special it is:

Mr. Brooks, I don't know where to begin. It would be impolite for me to tell you that you have lost your mind. Well, I'm willing to be impolite. I sincerely wish that I wasn't limited to 1,500 characters. I've already wasted 227.
Ronald Reagan was evil; he took an axe to the foundation of the American democratic system "government is the problem", a failure, then set about dividing the country by income and race and section. And smirked when while his clueless base looked the other way while his cronies hogged the government trough they so hated.
Mr. Brooks, please recall the unforgettable scene in Alien. Donald Trump, today, is the awful, bloody thing that forced itself out of the GOP's breast. It uncoils from the corpse, snarls and snaps at everyone standing around in horror and scuttles off, leaving a clattering, putrid mess behind. The image is violent. After Reagan, H. W., Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, W. and Cheney (and now McConnell, Ryan and the departed Boehner), what on earth did you expect from the wreck?
And how do you get off writing "Trump is loveless. There is no room for reciprocity and love in his worldview." ? No, there isn't nor has there been any in the GOP's since, oh, Richard Nixon (1968).
Mr. Brooks, there will be a post-Trump era because we're still in the Reagan area. The merest child could see through your references to Thomas Kuhn's "model." The GOP's a complete disaster. You were there at its creation and cheered it on. Happy today?
