Not all white men, but a lot of them are butt hurt that Democrats have been trying to level the playing field for people of color and women. Tsf tapped into their chest thumping rage, and their fear of becoming the minority. They don't want to loose their majority. Maybe they fear all the races and genders they helped suppress will turn the tables on them. It's funny how offended some of them act, when they are called racist or sexist, and they will deny it. Yet they aren't ashamed of themselves for their racist statements and actions.

I also include the women who love them. The ones who have the 1950s sitcom fantasies of being the perfect sweet little house wife who exists only to please her man, and let him make all those "hard decisions," so she feels "protected". 😒
