Unexamined Privilege

A rather obvious point:

"The greatest practitioners of whatever it is we call 'identity politics' in this country have always been white males. The lack of self-awareness of this fact is what is termed unexamined privilege". -- Atrios

or:

white Republican males = free of racial and ideological bias.
all others = hopelessly partisan and practicing the politics of race all the time.

To which Paul Krugman adds:

"The thing that is really driving conservatives crazy, I think, is that their identity politics just isn’t working like it used to. Their whole approach has been based on the belief that Americans vote as if they live in Mayberry, and fear and hate anyone who looks a bit different; now that the country just isn’t like that, they’ve gone mad."
