A quotation from Algernon Sidney

For this reason, the law is established which no passion can disturb. It is void of desire and fear, lust and anger. It is mens sine affectu, written reason, retaining some measure of the divine perfection. It does not enjoin that which pleases a weak, frail man; but, without any regard to persons, commands that which is good, and punishes evil in all, whether rich or poor, high or low. It is deaf, inexorable, inflexible.

Algernon Sidney (1623-1683) English politician, republican political theorist [also Sydney]
Discourses Concerning Government, ch. 3, § 15 (1689)

"...we need y'all to get angry. We need y'all to be pissed"

"We need y’all to remind us why we voted for you in the first place."

Otherwise, we're going to assume we are on our own, and proceed as though your tepid words don't matter.
