Former President Donald Trump is expected to surrender himself to the Fulton County jail at the end of next week – on Thursday or Friday, a senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the surrender told CNN.
I’m having trouble locating a clip, but Patton Oswalt had a bit about a decade ago about the anomie the country felt when Nixon resigned and then got on TV and flew away in a helicopter.
I feel like Trump finally getting booked will be a similar feeling.
anomie
TILAW: AN·o·mie
noun: anomie; noun: anomy
In societies or individuals, a condition of instability resulting from a breakdown of standards and values or from a lack of purpose or ideals.
“the theory that high-rise architecture leads to anomie in the residents”
Best definition I ever heard was the sociology professor that introduced me to the word.
This teacher, knowing her demographic of “Americans born in the late 80s/early 90s” simply defined it as:
“You know how you all felt on Sept 12th? That was anomie.”
