This article smells like cynicism pretending to be self-congratulating intelligence. Painting whole swathes of groups to be all the same ("Liberals cheer the FBI and CIA, call for limitless censorship, and insist on blind faith in tech giants and pharmaceutical companies. Conservatives have cast off Christianity, their north star, the orienting principle of all they believed, discarding it offhandedly like a gum wrapper.") and saying they should've been something else is... meh, stupidly reductionist.

Perfectly put. Without the reductionism the whole article falls apart.

Is not the point of the article that people tend to be extremely reductionisty though?
