Two Seperate Realities

Two takes on the "Pence goes to Hamilton" story. It's interesting to look at the comments. There is no mixture. It's all people who think one way at the first site, and all people who think the other way at the other. It's a stark illustration of the 'everybody to their own echo-chamber' phenomena.

(It is not my intent to suggest the two views are 'seperate but equal,' btw. I'm just saying how seperate they are. The lefties get some licks in, but there are persons reaching out for understanding as well. The right wingers, by contrast, are consistently stereotyping and hostile.)

RAW STORY: WATCH: Mike Pence booed at ‘Hamilton’ — and the internet loves it

My take.
This really shouldn't have happened, but given the lie-laden toxic scorched earth campaign his first banana ran, not suprizing.

Liberal stage actors embarrass far right politician, Trump sets about silencing dissent.

Welcome to 2016.

After all the racist, xenophobic and misogynist BS that Trump and Co. have been slinging for over a year, they deserve every bit of opprobrium they receive. A Broadway play may not have been the right time or place, but a lot of people in this country feel rightly threatened by Trump's rhetoric (not to mention his cabinet picks thus far). The Right can sure dish it out, by they sure can't take it. Pussies.

Tie yourself to Trump, be prepared for rotten tomatoes.

While Trump was talking about a 'Second Amendment Solution', he did not realize that he was using the 'First'.

As long as it wasn't during the performance I'm okay with it.

I'm thinking Trump loves this.
