You lazy commie millennials wouldn’t understand the work ethic of a hot, red-blooded boomer trying to avoid spending any time with his abused and emotionally destroyed Karen of a wife whose only joy is now tormenting minimum wage workers and his kids who don’t talk to him anymore because he’s a brave patriot who speaks his mind and doesn’t give into the woke left.

Not too far off..... I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation and my specialty is kinda famous for being really bad at having families.

But I'd say the underlying cause is more like undiagnosed personality disorder/autism than being patriotic. Most of the older guys are extremely divorced dads who are obsessed with squash if they are brown or golf if they're white. We also have divorced dad "pretends to be cowboy or in motorcycle gang" if they're a younger boomer.
