All of this, of course, is about taking people’s anger and worries and using that energy—-much of which is rooted in economic concerns—-to convince them to turn on their neighbors. The sheer amount of energy dropped by workaday Republican voters on being angry that someone else is having an orgasm, having a good day, speaking in their first language, talking on a cell phone, looking fly, or otherwise feeling pleasures that they disapprove of really leaves me feeling exhausted.
