“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
