A HUGE segment of the male pundit class seems animated by a shared psychological grievance which they project onto the public sphere.
"Don't tell me what to do, Mom...but throw some Hot Pockets in the microwave for me!" becomes "Hands off my Social Security!"
that's like Kim-Kardashian-says-NASA-didn't-reach-the-moon level Looney Toons

afaik, no one drinks lattes to signal virtue.
Social distancing was a requirement in many places, like getting vaccinated; the other symbols Nate uses are consumer choices.
Priuses and lattes, like Brie and Chardonnay 25 years ago, can be termed luxury goods...and therefore used as metonyms for an out-of-touch elite.
How is social distancing in any way a luxury or elite?
Why take umbrage at a somewhat helpful public health response to a deadly & novel virus that killed millions of people?
