@EarlyGirlSC Most white people, especially right leaning white people, are pretty binary when it comes to open expressions of anger. We usually are pretty good at holding that shit in, overlooking the smaller things.
Kind of the opposite of the chimp out phenomena. Ghetto blacks will explode over little stuff in the checkout aisle, then a few hours later be back to normal and about their lives. A lot of whites will hold their frustration in, appear perfectly nice and polite, right up until a certain line is crossed. When that happens, they go from 0 to 100 and stay there until the underlying problem is resolved.
Depending on the problem that could take some time, from hours to days to years. Sometimes it means tearing apart the car and rebuilding it, sometimes it means nuking entire cities.

This is why we can live in a society. The threshold for aggression is one determining factor on the size of the hive, so to speak.
