We Americans are angry this Christmas.

77 million voters were so angry they elected Trump.

75 million are angry that Trump won.

Many people are so angry at health-insurance companies they cheered the cold-blooded murder of a CEO on a Manhattan street.

In North Carolina, Republican politicians are so angry about Democrats winning elections they stripped powers from top state officials.

Democrats are angry about the power grabs, gerrymandering and corruption in the General Assembly.

The Harris-Walz campaign ran on joy. Maybe they should have run on anger.

Democrats will get the chance to do that in 2026 and 2028. By then, people will be angry at Trump and the Republicans.

For now, for this holiday, let’s take a break.

Let’s all press pause on our anger and be thankful for our blessings.

After New Year’s, we can be angry again.

Merry Christmas.
