    Straight white men weren’t even particularly well off as a whole. Yes, The upper middle and upper class were almost exclusively white men but that was a small portion of their entire demographic. What they really want is to be able to go back to a time when they could beat their wives, divorce was not available, black people had to call them ‘sir’ or get strung up, and all the gay people were ‘where they belonged’, i.e. France, dead, or in the closet.
