Apolitical Americans are not angry most time.

Going back several years, American media (not just journalism, but social media, film/television, bloggers, etc.) has been pushing out a constant stream of sensational, divisive, identitarian politics and propaganda that overload the intended audience. Here's a very partial list:
1 - Police Brutality - You get a handful of incidents in a year over millions of police interactions with U.S. citizens every single day. And yet the cottage racism industry pushes the narrative loudly and violently that white society is sending out a slave patrol to commit mass murder. What impact do you think that has on a huge chunk of the viewing population?
2 - Income Inequality - Screeching, wailing "progressives" push this narrative that women and minorities are being paid less money for doing the same job as a certain category of men. It's absolutely false and driven by horrible data clustering, but an aggregate number is blasted out at people all the time. What impact does that have?
3 - "Gender Identity" - Numerous major media outlets have been trying to drive home the idea that biology and gender and somehow incompatible concepts, with some school systems even trying to start teaching those ideas to freaking Kindergarteners without parental consent. How do you think these parents react to L.G.B.T. "education" being provided to kids that they haven't even had the basic birds/bees talks with?
4 - White Supremacy - People have been getting hit with this idiocy for about a decade now. If you don't vote for the candidates we endorse, you're a bigot. Disagree with our position/policy for any reason at all, and you're a bigot. The constant accusations that every Caucasian citizen bears direct, unqualified responsibility for racial disparities in education, health outcomes, crime, and wealth. Surely we can see how this would impact viewers on all sides of the debate.
The constant pounding of these messages in every form of media imaginable has escalated tensions to an enormous level at this point.
Or is it your destiny to escalate the divide?
It used to be that an external enemy did wonders to unite Americans. Russia, China, NK, COVID-19, Justin Bieber. You can't even agree on the external enemies anymore.
I don't know if it can ever be fixed now.

The Trump cult is angry about immigrants, the Media, liberals, Obama, Clinton, any attempt to investigate Trump, anyone involved in any attempt to investigate Trump.
The Trump haters are angry out of frustration with the Trump cult.

No way we were letting the Brits push us around for another 100 years to offer some bullshit confederation.
Anger founded this place. Goddammit!
It's bred in the bone.
Just like Brexit and populism in Europe. People got screwed for 25 years by the elites and globalists. Trump just latched into that anger.
It's never their fault. Donald supports this, they're his base uneducated ignorant whiners.
Minorities and poor immigrants would seem to fall in to that category, and Trump didn't resonate with their "anger".
His demographic is largely white males over 50. How did they get left behind, and who is in front of them?
They all went to China or Mexico. We don’t make anything in this country anymore. The furniture and textile businesses were wiped out when China joined the WTO. Steel and aluminum starting leaving in the 90’s. And as we just found out our medical and Pharma supplies were shipped overseas.
How many of these former democrat line union voters were left behind. Or should a 50 year old learn how to write code or make burgers.
They have been left behind all over the western world. You know the middle class voters. Imagine that.

We're actually normally quite measured and reasonable...except when we're stereotyped...
You need to add more ABBA to your diet. ABBA makes everyone happy.

That’s fairly new. Angry enough to post bullshit and blow off steam on places like this, meh no biggie for us. We have never been as restrained and polite as our northerly neighbors.
