I read it hoping it would have some funny stuff. It didn't. It was just bad sentence after bad sentence and in the second half of the article Brooks whines that more Americans should be religious Christians and he praises the "Judeo-Christian ethos".

Something’s going on in our culture. The decline of religious participation, which was so rapid between 2010 and 2020, seems to have stopped. There has been a relative surge in religious interest among young men. According to research by the evangelical Christian polling group Barna, 66 percent of Americans say they have made a personal commitment to Jesus — a 12-percentage-point jump since 2021.

"DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE! DEPORT THE BROWN PEOPLE!..."

The Biblical story of Amalek involves God punishing a dude for not genociding thoroughly enough. Christianity considers the total extermination of foreigners to be in some circumstances not just morally permissible, but the only righteous act.
