David Brooks uses his platform as a columnist to speak about the historic women's march. This column effectively used the following rhetorical strategies to convince the audience to have a more solid protest against trump that benefits the economy as a whole and not limited to one specific group. Brooks discredits the Women's march by saying , " focuses on the wrong issues" implying that the women weren't protesting against the right issues. He deemed them protesting against making abortion illegal, not as important as globalization decimating jobs and technology. He then uses specific negative words such as "brutalistic" to describe trump's future for America. He uses this word to say Trump would commit an act of barbarism in order to "Make America Great Again" He believes if Anti Trump forces are to stand against him, they have to approach the situation in a national or patriotic way. Brooks also want the supporters to take a more biblical approach with their protests to appeal to more Americans to join the fight against Trump. When you limit the fight to only a specific group, you lose the chance to recruit others who are against Trump.
