Stacy Schiff is the author of this op-ed article called Anger: An American History posted (December 18, 2015), and Schiff's main claim is that hate and aggression has been a big part of America and its way of settleing things. Schiff starts off her claim by with an ironic question that shows her position, then says that anger and hate might "sound un-American" but it really is, then she goes on to give examples from America's past to back up her statements, then she shows how America has shown hate again but with newer events like Donold Trump and others. Schiff wants to give as much information as she can to the readers with these examples to show how ironic America is and that hate has been a part of its roots and she can relate to the present as well. Her audience is definitely liberalist and even democratic because she gives a quote by a republican that just so happens to be running for president and this is on purpose because she wants to show that if this man that is not a positive figure (for some) can be in the running to be president then it justifies her whole claim. Some other citizens of the United States may not agree with Schiff but her audience would because they agree on what she's saying and what she's trying to show/inform them.
