The article critiques the current American societal climate, highlighting a disturbing trend where many derive pleasure from the misfortune of others. Using the example of cheers during Donald Trump's inauguration for an executive order forcing federal workers back to the office, the author illustrates how some find satisfaction in actions that negatively impact others. In this 'Era of the A-hole,' the focus has shifted from collective well-being to celebrating the grievances inflicted upon others, disregarding the implications on affected individuals and the inefficiency of such policies.
In the Era of the A-hole, it is no longer about what the government can do to help you, but what it can do to others.
It's a time when a large segment of the population seems to enjoy being absolutely awful to other Americans, taking great pleasure in being vindictive.
