39. Blaming "the elites" is also an illiberal talking point.

Yes, white people are racist, I would never argue against that.
So are other ethnic groups as well. There actually is a lot of racism in the Hispanic community.
Hence the FAFO attitude by those who were desperately trying to get people to understand they were voting against their self-interest.
Now, we're all paying for their racism.

There is real anger and frustration that certain idiot groups (not monolithically, but significantly) did not listen and doomed all of us.

I'm not ready to make nice.
I have been put in real danger by their idiocy.

So, yeah, I'm pissed off.
