For example, Ted Cruz seemed like an elitist prick, but he self isolated over COVID-19, and actually acted better than I'd expected.
Tucker Carlson, and his interview (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/03/tucker-carlson-on-how-he-brought-coronavirus-message-to-mar-a-lago?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=onsite-share&utm_brand=vanity-fair&utm_social-type=earned) is another one.
Still plenty I don't really agree with, but he makes some good points about how populism wouldn't be so appealing if there weren't some pretty big issues that aren't being fixed.
I get why elites, experts, and the media are viewed with suspicion... I just think it's better to take them with a grain of salt, and not throw what they know out entirely. (and the way people who distrust the media are left vulnerable to disinformation illustrates the danger there.)
Its why I call myself an independent - Democrat or Republican, neither party does a good job of 'shepherding their flock'.
