The article does a good job hitting several 'topics' in the conversation, which is a reasonable place to start. As a collective emotional response, "anger" in the US population likely has a lot to do with rapidly changing social adaptations, acceptance, and transition which is frequently in direct conflict with traditional identity values - thus, a pretty understandable survey answer. Start broadening the perspective to include economic conditions (inequality, labor force participation) and it's not really a pleasing long-term outlook on an intellectual level. For some reason, I can't quite shake the mental image of a cornered rat - its survival instinct response might be classified as 'anger' but the context and conditions are relevant in the grand scheme of things.
