The article itself lurches all over the place and takes some bizarre turns - e.g. the weird conspiracy theory thrown out about how attempts at more egalitarian college admissions are simply a backhanded dig at Jews and Asians, the barely concealed indignation at anything "woke" and the re-definition of elite to mean "literally anyone with a college degree".

The views he holds seem pretty average among worried Beltway center-right elites (actual elites), although not in any way representative of average Americans.
