>go actually talk to some Republicans
>They resent being told what to do by what they perceive as elitist, out-of-touch folks in major coastal cities
You've implied that Republicans largely do not express the faults seen on social media, and then immediately described them as having those faults: Being motivated by petty identity politics, sorting people into rough categories and aiming hatred at those categories, etc. I'm not making a case that Republicans are worse in these regards - they're just the topic in this context, and I don't at all understand what you were trying to get across in your third sentence.
