The feel uncomfortable with the change in society.

Some media and manipulators tell them that is discomfort is anger or should be because others are attacking the, their way of life, their religion, their traditions.

So, of course, they get mad.

And the manipulation works.

(Because this is not just a matter of "things change" and the world evolved. They have grown up in a world with them at the center so all the change is an attack on them.)
