I’m going back and forth about this @TheAtlantic piece
It is SO difficult to read
As @jabarocas wrote - it insults & dismisses so many sacrifices made
But it also represents a hard truth of how millions of Americans view & have dealt w COVID

Give me solid reporting into places where measures are opposed or ignored, where cases have surged and even points of views that are discouraging. Sure! This person is performing “aw, schucks you coastal elites” as part of his professional niche, in the most useless way possible.

That's the correct take. Just browse through his twitter timeline and you can understand the act he's performing in this article.

Doesn't represent "real" America, of course (who does?), but why would you believe he doesn't represent a non-trivial subset? I've got family all over the U.S., geographically, and he's perfectly in sync with the way a disturbing proportion of them think.

This event has fully exposed the fact that we have no social contract in the US. We barely even have a society at all. Strangely, I'm not even mad. I'm resigned at this point.

I actually agree with you the topic is important, what you describe is very real and it deserves careful reporting. This just wasn't it. Lots of buzzwords very much aimed at the other side of the professional/social class he is part of, while falsely claiming to be typical.

There is zero verification of the claimed prevalence of the author's perspective. It's fine to publish that perspective as information about what's out there. What isn't OK is to just publish authoritative claims like that w/o verification.
