There is some outrage out there. Some is against Trump. (Some is Pro-Trump.) But it is there. And has been.

In 2008, candidate Barack Obama, when he was campaigning in Columbia, Missouri,  before the election announced, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." The crowd went wild. Why? What did he--and they--see that we had to put aside. And what was to replace it? What in the nation needed fundamentally reformed? And if it so obviously needs reformed, why can we not just say what it is? And if it is so obvious, why don't I know what it is anyway? What is wrong with the educational system and the Press that I don't know this essential problem? Or is it simpler; was he so self-absorbed that he--and they--thought that his election itself, his being president by itself, would inherently change the country?

This is clearly the "Problem That Cannot Be Named."

Or is this more of a Rorschach Test where each disaffected can see his own concern in the vague image?

And, since he was elected, has that fundamental transformation occurred?
