I glanced at some of the writer's claims and saw it as another attack on Republicans from the democrat party-loving New Yorker. After all, it was titled: "The GOP Is a Grave Threat to American Democracy" Big deal. It's the writer's opinion. But not facts.
If you don't like Republicans, you would be enamored with it. It reminds me of how CNN has all these ex Republicans on their station talking down the Republican party to give credibility to CNN's political position. MSNBC does it as well. Well, that's what the New Yorker is doing. Finding some RHINO to write an article denigrating Republicans. As if real Republicans would read their bias.
It is normal not to have the time to read everything, I don't even have the time to read things that I am interested in. But making editorial comments without reading the content and basing your comments on pre-conceived views lacks credibility. If you've decided not to read anything that you don't agree with and so avoid The Atlantic, that's one thing. You're free to do that, but don't try to pass off that prejudice as anything else.
The article was about demented alt-right conspiracy nuts who have invaded the GOP. If you don't think that's a problem, that's ok, but don't dismiss just because you think it is a "liberal" view from a "liberal" publication. As others have stated, calling The Atlantic "liberal" is beyond weird, but then you've referred to Biden supporters as Marxists while simultaneously supporting tax subsidies for Amazon relocation.
