So, Mike Pence went to see Hamilton and the cast had something to say. Which makes sense, since the theater has historically--for centuries--been an important space for public dissent (for a major example from my lifetime, I'm thinking Václav Havel, who I suspect I'll be re-reading a lot in the next few years

While I didn't watch the clip of the booing -- because even as a Hoosier ashamed of fellow-Hoosier Pence because he's a major dick, I can't stand that kind of negative energy -- I thought the cast's response, in their little speech to him, were great. Trump, omg, what can even be said? We're so screwed.
