One frustrating thing about Limbaugh (and Jones and Hannity, et al) is that they made Being Angry a Right Wing Thing.

Extremely frustrating when you see a genocide in Gaza or global temperatures spiking or some cop shoot up a subway over a $3 fare, express anger, and have someone respond "You just sound like Rush Limbaugh".

There are real reasons to feel righteous anger and to use that as motivation to act. But guys like Rush just fill the airways with this white nationalist noise. They make the idea of being angry this exclusive Right Wing attitude to have.

We need to get better at allowing righteous anger

We need to get better at doing things about it instead of farting rage into the Internet.

Also true. Farting rage is easier so its all people do
