People ask why, as a Latino, do I hammer white guilt among liberals and conservatives. Hayes' tweet is illustrative: the modern white psyche conditioned to worship nonwhites in a religious psychosexual ethnomasochism 1/ https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1128529245

Our politics, Republican and Democrat, are dominated by the accompanying neurosis and narcissism of whites suffering from what is basically a mental and spiritual illness. Conservatives aren't immune. They think they are, but they are just as bad 2/

It's the reason why conservatives rationalize and justify bringing rappers to the White House, releasing dangerous felons, the Platinum Plan, the American Dream Plan, it's behind the "immigrants do the jobs Americans don't want to do" slogans, it's why conservatives pander 3/

Obviously liberals are just as bad, but the point is that it's not specific to either political orientation, it's like a psychic malaise that afflicts white people in either party 4/

You know this is true because when you raise this point to whites, whether they are hardcore pro-Trump or pro-Biden, they'll take it as a personal attack that you are opposed to pandering, because you are actually attacking their neurosis, their narcissism 5/

For them, the only reason someone would oppose their view is if they are a bad person, a horrible bigot. Notice that conservatives and liberals are equally ready and willing to start throwing around the term "racist" at the drop of a hat 6/

A more recent example of the Hayes tweet 7/ https://twitter.com/WalshFreedom/status/1325248114677211137?s=19

To be fair, this is the result of nonstop warfare on them. A half century or more of being told you're a bad person because you were born a certain way and your only ticket out of hell is committing yourself fervently to this religion 8/

This is, in fact, a mental illness 9/ https://apnews.com/article/8b79bd362a524ab8a0fa73913f0aa6fa

The reason stuff like Hillbilly Elegy gets attacked so viciously is precisely because it doesn't portray my white comprades in a horrible light. "Wait, a movie where hillbillies aren't racist bad guys?" More of that would be good 10/

The ultimate irony of this insane cult of antiracism is that is has actually increased polarization, increased Balkanization 10/

One more reason to think about this: conservatives are dissatisfied with the GOP, some want their own party, which is probably good. But what happens if you just import this mentality to the new party? If the metapolitics of white guilt are not torn out, what's the point? 12/
