(21,043 posts)(1) Your confusion regarding my OP subject line being misleading. It is not misleading. The book addresses all of those and they are the individuals being studied.
(2) Your confusion concerning the increase in popularity of gun rights groups, of fathers rights groups, and how these are directly associated with the very thing that caused right wing ideology to become a wildly popular fad which is with us even today.
(3) All additional questions concerning this book (which you haven't read), will be addressed by reading the book. At the bottom of the issues are the loss of white male entitlement, which is a historical fact, and is on the road to ending, to be replaced by a greater equality. However, that loss of white male entitlement, has created a backlash which is the source very reason we are fighting fundies, right wingers, wildly popular gun nuts, mass shooters in malls and schools, etc. He even goes into why the loss of white male entitlement has caused white male middle class and working class men to support (by joining all of these groups, right wing, gun groups, fathers' "rights", etc. etc.) to lift up and empower the richest class in the U.S., thereby screwing (pardon the term) themselves royally.
If you do not read the book and merely GUESS at what is in the book and direct your anger at those guesses, you will be wasting your time and mine. Read the book. If you cannot afford it, check it out of a library. Libraries continue to be free.
