The Hamilton story blowing up on Twitter today isn’t really worth commenting on. (Fun fact: I haven’t seen or heard Hamilton.) It’s The story is blown way out of proportion (on both sides).
Our wonderful future V.P. Mike Pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of Hamilton, cameras blazing.This should not happen!

The Theater must always be a safe and special place.The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence. Apologize!

Just my two cents but I think Trump enjoys making the Internet dance to his puppet strings whenever he tweets something. And the Internet appears perfectly willing to dance for him. I’m sure his team is glad to know it will be really easy for them to distract people from any policy mistakes made over his term.
Also I can’t help but wonder if the news for the next four years is only going to be reports on the president’s Twitter feed.
And by the way if I were really worried about Trump turning into Hitler, I definitely wouldn’t be calling him an idiot on Twitter all the time. Because, you know, it makes it easy to identify who to round up and make disappear. All the accounts are even verified now.
[Updated to clarify that I meant the Hamilton story was blown out of proportion, not the Hamilton play, which I’m sure is a fine play.]
