Below is an NLP Synopsis (1629 words) of the full article (24385 words)..   The main changes made were to change it from paragraph form to bullet sections, with the major section headings created by myself. 

SYNOPSIS START

Four Conservative Columnists Pinpoint ‘the Why” as seen through their eyes..

The pinnacle of Why: everything is severely broken

• We just need to burn it all down. 

• They get this from media consumption. 

• There’s something about screens that contributes to a catastrophizing mind-set

• And want their opponents to suffer. 

• Many Republicans dislike foreign aid. 

• Or loathe elite universities. 

• Or hate big liberal law firms. 

• So is picking fights with liberal judges and liberal universities. 

• voters as a puzzle in need of explanation. 

• Getting rid of D.E.I. 

Morally: we’re on a path to eternal damnation

• The path to perdition (eternal damnation) is slow, but accelerating. 

• For real. It boils down to trust, ideas and leadership. 

• Get it sent to your inbox. Almost. Relatively speaking. 

• These progressives sometimes make our teeth hurt. 

• That’s what’s happening. 

USAID: the scapegoat of bureaucratic correction

• The most noxious thing they have done in my view is eviscerate U.S.A.I.D. 

• Millions will die. 

• But it was true that U.S.A.I.D. was a bureaucratic nightmare. 

• A generation of administrators there tried to fix it. 

• Destroying an agency rather than fixing what is wrong and saving what is right.

• directly through the State Department itself. 

• Sometimes even including me. 

Consequences be Damned: screw them

• They don’t know about the lives that are saved or the lives that are at risk.

•  Why do some conservatives see illegality differently? 

• Go on. 

• Know someone who would want to read this? 

• Share the column. Are they not paying attention? 

• The other side screws up too fast. 

• Market corrections are healthy. 

• Recessions should sometimes happen. 

• And Trump can always lift the tariffs. 

Globalization needs to be re-thought

• Those of us internationalists have some thinking to do. 

• We need their help.
