Reply #7: good question

[MattNC]

and it's one I've thought about quite often - especially since I'm a 21-year-old white male.

At least with a lot of the conservative guys I know, they feel they're "losing" their country whether it's through affirmative action, strong-willed women (that's why so many of them hate Hillary), and the increase in immigration from Latinos. It's commonly referred to as the "good ol' boy" mentality.

Furthermore, I think a lot of guys in this age group tend to respect action a lot more than insight with the problems we face. They'd rather just "kill all the brown people" as opposed to learning why terrorists hate the U.S.

Hope that little bit helps.
