righteous

The anger is righteous and justified and should not be tamped down, not just yet, possibly not for a very long time, if ever.

It also builds support for purging people from the voter rolls, foments righteous rage among voters, and chips away at Americans’ faith in public institutions.

So you could be righteous but not be enlightened.

To be enlightened means you are intentionally being righteous.

It’s a different way to intentionally being righteous versus to be righteous by nature or because of a system or your parents taught you.
