Posted on 02/10/2016 8:45:23 PM PST by Baynative

LET'S BEGIN WITH THE BIG REVEALS: Half of all Americans are angrier today than they were a year ago. White Americans are the angriest of all. And black Americans are more optimistic about the future of the country and the existence of the American dream. There are depths and dimensions, dark corners and subtle contours to our national mood, and setting aside the issue of who actually has a right to be angry and about what - these pages are neutral territory; everyone is allowed their beef - we found three main factors shaping American rage:

There is so much wrong with this contrived and biased poll I don't know where to start.

Seventy-three percent of whites say they get angry at least once a day, as compared with 56 percent of blacks and 66 percent of Hispanics. Seventy-seven percent of Republicans get angry at least once a day, as compared with 67 percent of Democrats.The least angry household-income brackets: the very rich ($150,000-plus) and the very poor ($15,000 and less). The most angry: the middle of the middle class
($50,000 to $74,999).

Total bunk.

The fact we aren’t marching on Washington with pitchforks shows our anger is under control.

Trump will build the wall and kill PC culture in America. We need to marginalize the Communists and radicals. Go to online colleges at 1/10 the price and purge the government and schools of leftists.

Agreed, anger, rage, and hate, are incorrect.
Disillusioned, confused, betrayed, and tired of it all, is more like it. Our own country has woken the sleeping beast, and what will be the results from that wakening, will depend on who resists the return to what is right and fair, by the peoples standards, not the politicals today who think they answer to no one. We live in interesting times.

I must say that I am relatively disappointed our system allowed a crypto-Communist-dilettante to hold the office of President not just once, but twice.

Boy you said it. Nothing whatsoever scientific about it, but a lot of projection and mind-reading of people’s motivations.

So if blacks are less angry than whites, how does one account for the high rate of violent crime?

Last I looked it’s been the blacks who were looting, burning down Ferguson,Mo and “venting their anger” in DC and we were told to accept all.

Whatever... our expression is “rage”, the Left’s expression is “insightful”

Esquire is a bloody rag...
