    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.

        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.”
