      I draw two big lessons from this study: First, it made me worry that speech norms serve as a marker of social distinction. What the vast majority of our fellow citizens see in PC is not genuine concern for social justice; it’s the preening display of cultural superiority.pic.twitter.com/IGqmRVz8Di

      Obviously, my Twitter followers are no representative sample. But they do approximate the politically engaged, highly educated, left-leaning people who have outsized influence on universities, publications and political campaigns. (Oh, and they like PC.)https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1049649218967736320 …

      Final poll: Do you personally agree with the following statement: "Political correctness is a problem in our country." (Friendly reminder that Twitter polls are fully anonymous.)

      So it’s remarkable just how wrong my Twitter followers are in their estimate of how their fellow citizens feel about political correctness. Over half of my followers thought that more than half of Americans like PC. Only 6% got the right answer.https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1048953303944581120 …

      Writing about a fascinating new study and would love to see how the perceptions of my Twitter followers jive with it. So, tweeps: In your best estimate, what percentage of Americans would agree with the following statement: "Political correctness is a problem in our country."

      My Twitter followers did even worse in guessing the views that people of color have on political correctness. Over half thought that less than 25% of PoCs dislike it. Only 3% got the right answer.https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1049355983615680521 …

      So why does it matter if the elite gets popular views on PC so wrong? It matters because a publication whose editors think they represent the views of the majority when they actually speak to a small minority may eventually see its influence wane and its readership decline.

      Why does it matter if the elite gets popular views on PC so wrong? It matters because a political candidate who believes she is speaking for half of the population when she's actually voicing the opinions of one fifth is likely to lose the next election.

      Why does it matter if the elite gets popular views on PC so wrong? It matters because it’s difficult to win your fellow citizens over to your side—or remedy injustices that remain all too real—when you fundamentally misunderstand how your fellow citizens see the world.

      And please do read the great report, @HiddenTribesUS, which covers many fascinating issues I didn’t touch on here. It’s one of the few things that’s made me feel optimistic over the past month, so it’s definitely worth your time. https://hiddentribes.us/  [The End.]

      As an Atlantic subscriber, I personally thought your article was fatuous and ultimately pointless. Sorry.
