It is my observation the word "angry" is improperly applied to the majority of the American public. It seems more likely the word "disgusted" would be more correct in encapsulation the tenure and tone of the bulk of unrepresented Americans.
News media lives by the "If it bleeds it leads" rule, so their natural inclination is to select words that are an inflammatory as possible in their reporting, thus also in their poll taking. While there are classes and colors of Americans who express how they feel as "angry"... the root cause is really "disgust", because their expectations are not being met. This "disgust" is expressed by the "politically correct" crowd in passive aggressive wording carefully crafted to appear not to insult those they wish to insult and chastise. This disingenuous verb-age serves to further disgust anyone who feels differently, thus further widening the gap of good communication. We now have, as a society, become quite dysfunctional in expressing our "disgust" at how others are acting, and have progressively lost the ability to communicate plainly, which, by necessity, often results in one person or group telling another person or group, in plain language, to "get the hell off my lawn". It is my considered opine that good social order requires boundaries and limits. Our present practices of social order routinely insults the established boundaries and limits. Those insults are carried further and deeper by the passive aggressive political correct responses now practiced by a select few who have self appointed themselves as sole arbiters of society mores. Which disgusts me. A lot.
