Is the patience of the American people that long suffering?

Summary

This quote raises questions about the endurance of the American people's patience and whether there is any remaining capacity for outrage in the nation.

Furthermore, it hints at a desire to see if there are still issues or events that can elicit a strong emotional response and collective outcry from the public.
