[quote=Anonymous]I need to get off the Internet because I only ever hear conservatives being pissed off about liberals. I guess I'm not sure what they talk about when they're not sneering at liberals or fearing the end of what they imagine to be traditional western civilization. (Candidly, some of this has to do with my interactions with my father who, after becoming a Fox News enthusiast, couldn't go 20 minutes without complaining about Obama or Pelosi or Democrats or something -- no matter how much I tried to steer the conversation to non-political topics.)

I think a lot of what we see today in terms of anger has to do with social media algorithms and cable news (of any variety) business decisions that recognize anger and anxiety as reliable ways of attracting clicks and eyeballs. If you unplug and walk around your local city or town, chances are that things are reasonably good. What time and place in human history do you figure it was better for the average person to be alive?
