Angry because Orange asshole always blames someone else and his base follow right behind with anger and blame for even the most innocent people. I'm thinking about Dr. Fauci, peaceful protesters, and mask enforcers.
Haven't had the opportunity to read the article yet (I will later) but this is my 1st reaction-
'"Fear" because they recognize scientific facts.
"Anger" because they refuse to recognize expertise.
