Democrat leaving republic, extremely upset, sees anarchy (5)
I believe the answer is:
chaos
'anarchy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chaos that I've seen before include "Anarchy" , "State of extreme confusion and disorder" , "Totally disordered state" , "upheaval" , "disarray" .)
