(60,014 posts)nearly all the time. It was directed anger at our so-called leaders and the lying media.
During the Obama years my anger at the media has sharpened, and my feeling toward those that continually obstruct progress is one of nearly disbelief - coupled with sadness at the easy manipulation of so many people.
I've got anger fatigue - and I've found ways to cope; mostly by just refocusing on my family and my hobbies. Sometimes I feel guilty about the "bubble" my wife and I have created to live in; life is short, and we need to enjoy those people and pursuits that we love.
I guess in a way I've become somewhat disconnected, numbed, dulled about politics. Problem is I don't see an easy way out for the "good guys" with Citizens united money, gerrymandering, IQ dropping TV with so many addicted, and non-stop lying from the media.
