Quote of the Day (Charles Duhigg, on Why America Is Angry)


“One reason America is so angry is that anger works. When channeled by someone like [farmworkers union leader] Cesar Chavez, it can lift up the disadvantaged and reshape a nation. But its power is not reserved for the righteous. When less scrupulous leaders tap into our rage and use it for their own ends, the emotion can be turned against us, in ways large and small, often without us even realizing what is going on.”— Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg, “The Real Roots of American Rage,” The Atlantic, January/February 2019 issue
