Advances in merit and social equality in society have been demotions for poorly educated white folks. They are angry about losing the white privilege they claim doesn't exist. They can't even get away with murdering black folks in church any more, like they could in the 1960's. I always thought that American Exceptionalism was just mythology to let them think they were an important part of America's success. I suspect a lot of those guns they have will end being used in murder suicides of many of their families along with other self destructive behaviors they do. Their choices are the reasons why they are the only demographic that is dying younger. They refuse to take responsibility for their choices. They think they are victims. The police don't even profile them. I would pity them if they were not armed and dangerous.
