If your read the article to which I linked, you'll see how the article's author (who is a big Clinton supporter) was brought in as TNR's editor and got a chilly response from the unionized NY staff. It turns out there is also a NY/DC divide -

Members of the editorial staff, many of whom are based in New York, feared that the geographic shift would hasten an ideological squeeze of the site’s newer, openly-left wing writers, in favor of returning to the access-driven, Beltway-centric liberal journalism that earned TNR the derisive title of “the in-flight magazine of Air Force One.”

Tomasky can't get his stupid little magazine in order...and he's going to pontificate to the rest of the nation about how the Deplorables need to get in line?

Understood. It’s more the broader statement he makes in the article that I was referring to.

Conservatives want to... conserve.

It’s the Left that wants to make all these changes to a political system of free human beings that was hammered out and perfected in the late 1700s and again in the 1860s.

The Left always wants to make radical changes to things that should be preserved, or only tweaked to be more in line with Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

They are the ones responsible for the blue-red divide—not us.
