4. he's got YOU riled up, apparently
Sat Nov 19, 2016, 06:54 PM
Nov 2016

I have not seen all that much agitation about Hamilton.

Of course that may be because I unfriended all my Trump supporting "friends" on 11-9. Unfriended a couple of Bernie supporters too.

Now I hardly hear about politics except for one former teacher who keeps saying he is going to fight for the Muslims, non-cis and immigrants, and for some reason I sometimes see my friends' posts as they react to their own Trump supporting friends.

Seems to me that if one ignores the tempest in the teapot, that it thereby loses a whole lot of its power.

At least it loses its power to rile me up.
