I'm not understanding your comment.

The tweet thread is an observation that the NYTimes brings on conservative pundits because liberals love to self-flagellate (an interesting phenomenon alluded to in the thread but outside its scope). But those conservatives do not represent anything that comprises Trump's perennial 35% approval rating. Which calls into question their raison d'etre. This search for a sense of meaning amongst NYTimes conservatives explains the tenacity with which they cling to certain tired Op-ed subjects, like free speech on campus.

I'm have trouble connecting your comment.
