lyrics

From John Steinbeck’s "The Winter of Our Discontent"

“This year of 1960 was a year of change, a year when secret fears came into the open, when discontent stopped being dormant and changed gradually to anger. Presidential nominations would be coming up soon and in the air the discontent was changing to anger and with the excitement anger brings. And it wasn’t only the nation; the whole world stirred with restlessness and uneasiness as discontent moved to anger and anger tried to find an outlet in action, any action so long as it was violent — Africa, Cuba, South America, Europe, Asia, the Near East, all restless as horses at the barrier.”

Sounds familiar. That discontent has fueled anger and Trump’s popularity.
