Somewhere, probably not in the space between spaces, but somewhere, at this very moment, someone is experiencing distress. He is not keeping this distress clutched tightly inside. He is sharing his distress with others, in the form of a rant, even though no one there has solicited his opinion.

He goes on, full steam, disregarding the feeble attempts at participation by those listeners who perhaps feel it polite to acknowledge him. He is not trying to entice anyone to act. He is not trying to troll for arguments. Perhaps he believes himself to be sharing generously his important thoughts.

Those hypnotized by his ravings are experiencing a variety of reactions. Some are forced to confront the Truth in his words, and they themselves become distressed as they think about the Unfairness and Injustice created by the actions of others. This distress will cause some of them to wander off elsewhere and help the process cascade by performing rants of their own. Some others will bristle at the Lies and Misrepresentations he tosses out liberally and casually, and they will become distressed as well, and they may suddenly feel motivated to lend their efforts to push a political agenda contrary to the Speaker's. Some are nonplussed. Some become distressed because some self-important fool appears to think he has the right to bother them with his ideas.

All this because some asshole decided to throw his weight around when it wasn't and isn't his place. I am not talking about Star Simpson.
