Someone did a followup where they went to the town named in the article and it's nothing like what William says. It's run down, factories closed, and so on, but most people are working a couple of jobs to try and earn what they used to and getting by the best they can where there's no tax base to keep things in running trim anymore.
Just proves the point that the GOPe is out of touch with reality and has been a long time. They live wherever they like, email in an article not worth a tenth of what they get paid for it, do an interview over Skype here or there, hop on a paid for flight to some TV show once in a while to pontificate, and earn per year far more than the "greedy", "overpaid", factory workers who actually produce something other than Bullshit for other BS artists to quibble over.
But, of course, they're our "betters" so they're worth it, right ?
betters. They wish.
A few years ago Bill Moyers did a PBS program titled Two American Families.

While I’m not a fan of him or PBS, I will say this piece mimics what I witnessed but on a more city wide scale. The companies used the old union monster to hold over everyone’s heads. There was no union coming, it was the reasoning behind what they were going to do.
Fruit of the Loom
Garanimal brand company Garan Corp.
And a major manufacturer of body bags, can’t remember the name.
Not counting the companies in town that fired everyone only to replace them with South American cheap labor, housing to boot. What we would consider slavery but you know, we aren’t nuanced enough to understand Americans don’t want those jobs.
Making $3000 a month to sew ? Yeah, we turned our noses down on that. I saw a Walmart get shut down because no one had money to shop there. Grocery stores gone, not even a post office. It was horrific. And it never came back.
I still feel such hatred for any company that took the money and ran. It sickens me to no end. The greedy critters only know how to steal. They know nothing about anyone outside of their multi million dollar DC shitshacks.
It’s like they can’t stop hurting us.
I remember the article you talked about, about certain largely white towns having a “duty to die” due to immorality. (Switch that from white to black and they would, of course, swoon into their fainting couches at NR).
None of the NR writers have ever worked a real job. They went to prep school, off to the Ivy League, and then a job at a magazine supported by globalists. Nice work if you can get it. Only blister a guy like Rich Lowry or Jonah Goldberg ever got was when his Gucci loafers were too tight.
They will work tirelessly, in conjunction with the left media, to try to defeat Trump. They are fighting for their elite lives, and for ownership of their decrepit party machinery. Every day will come a new story. We must ignore and overcome.
Trump needs to take the fight to the media as well.
I found it.
