So much anger, so little reason in America today

Lots of anger out there.
Too much.
Can’t talk politics with some without it turning into a shouting match.
Can’t joke about someone’s background without them getting mad.
Not much humor left.
Used to be angry.
Lost temper with little or no provocation.
