Not sure that's even that's happening here. It wasn't the time or place for political discourse. Being offended doesn't mean you're thin-skinned. How you handle it does, however.



There are people on both sides that get entirely to invested in what others believe. There are too many people that get offended. Implying that it isn't far more prevalent from Democrats / liberals doesn't make your point.



Based on things that were said that were untrue or exaggerated from sources that politicize everything. It was absolutely political.



No way. The actors / actresses used their platform to lecture him. They didn't want conversation or debate. They didn't want understanding. They wanted to say how they felt and took advantage of the situation whereby Pence wasn't prepared to or capable of defending his stance or arguing against their's.


While you and others seemingly love to use hyperbole, I didn't get the impression that people are behaving as you describe them. Telling people that they shouldn't say something isn't the same as saying that they can't say something. Most reasonable people know they have the right, and if you were honest, you'd know most people fall into that group.


Trump should've just ignored it. The irony here, however, is that people like you are spending too much time criticizing a few conservatives for doing the exact same thing the Hamilton cast did.

People that disagree and are concerned have a stage and an opportunity to speak directly to the person their concerns are about as he's the running mate. When is the time? When is it OK to express concerns? Is it only when they feel safe and secure? When you run a campaign of fear anger and divisivness (which is what a huge portion of the country perceives out as) you don't really get to play the victim and call for safe spaces.
