The monster in the video is an individual.

Advice for NY Times readers -

“Ask a Trump voter if he or she – sorry, that’s the extent of their pronouns – knows a single 2016 Trump voter who is voting for Biden. That is, if you can. Do you actually know anyone voting for Trump? And not some distant Fox-watching uncle you spar with over turkey – or possibly tofurkey – at Thanksgiving. Someone close, someone you spend time with. If not, doesn’t that seem…problematic? After all, when you only experience one perspective, you tend to be really shocked when people with another one come along and make you cry on election night at the Javits Center.“

It is interesting to read the perspectives of people who seem to proceed from the assumption that the population of New York is more socially / politically homogeneous than any random flyover state one might think of. In particular, the following from the introduction to the article linked above stands out:

"It was meant as a warning to the NYT’s bubble-dwelling readership that the mainstream media’s lies are hiding the fact that America is very different than it seems from the perspective of Manhattan."

The "perspective of Manhattan." (* More on that later.)

While I acknowledge that not everyone has the means to live in Manhattan (I consider myself fortunate to have had a good job which afforded me a three year stay there,) there is a certain sense of delusion on the part of those who express such opprobrium which is curiously mirrored by that of people at the far-left who harbor similar antipathy towards those who they consider backwards racists.

New York City, of which Manhattan is a part, is perhaps the best summary of America that I can envision, in terms of the great diversity of viewpoints, opinions, architecture, food, religious beliefs, political biases, income levels, and so on which it contains. And I am using the word "diversity" in a strict, literal sense, not in the sense in which it is commonly used to mean "anything other than Caucasian and western."



* = here's the "more" part I mentioned earlier. If you want to humorously attack a publication for having a Manhattan-centric view of the world, at least pick the right publication. I refer of course to this wonderful map of the world which appeared on the cover of The New Yorker magazine some years ago, showing reasonably accurate picture of the earth as viewed from 9th Ave.
