I am still getting hate mail for my blog post, this time from a neighbor. She was so angry it took her a few days to calm down enough to write to me (in all caps!)

(I shut down comments yesterday)

When I wrote analysis for the Washington Post, I sometimes got angry email from MAGA people.

I did get a memorable letter from a librarian in Tennessee who was enraged at how I portrayed Andrew Jackson in one of my books.

But this has never happened.

I think it's interesting.

@Teri_Kanefield I am so sorry you are getting deluged with hate mail. Your blog posts, especially this last one, have helped me so much. People are getting stuck in rageville and you are showing them the way out.

@LarissaA

I am actually enjoying analyzing it. I plan to write this weekend about how the angry responses proved my point.

@Teri_Kanefield @LarissaA Excellent. I always look forward to your posts. I have started reading The Outrage Industry thanks to your recommendation. I intend to read your book too. This is exactly the help I need to feel unstuck.
