No it’s not Pence’s fault - but as I’ve said earlier in the thread - “Hamilton” is cause for hope that liberals/minorities identify with our founders after years and years of conditioning to view America as fundamentally a bad place. Give it more time, and eventually more will eventually be drawn to conservatism, Christian principles, and the like.

But regardless of all that, I think a basic rule of thumb is to not enter hostile, traditional “enemy” territory (in this case, Broadway/Hollywood) JUST after a battle while the blood is still wet not he ground from defeat so to speak.

Abraham Lincoln understood this! This is why Civil War reconstruction was such a disaster because he died before being able to oversee it. The North did not give the South enough time to sort of recover itself from the initial war itself! (A much more extreme example, yes, but still applies!)

You have seen civil war threads on this site right? 150 years still isn’t enough.
