I base that on his age and the behavior that you noted.

If he is already anti-capitalist, he probably heard how bad UHC is. He researched UHC and becomes further enraged. He's seething and can't shake it. He envisions all these people dying. He feels the only way to save society is to eliminate UHC etc.

We often become more enraged and fearful about what we read, rather than what we personally experience. BTW, I've been on UHC for five years and no probs. However, what I'm reading about them scares the bejeezes out of me.

Right now, everyone wants to "do something" about Trump. However, what can we do? If we start to think our minds go in a dark place!
