"Virtue Signaling" is practiced by folks scattered all across the political spectrum. It also occurs in regard to eating at McDonald's or shopping at Walmart.
True... still sad though. I never want to take away someone else's joy. There was a time when Dolli-Cali ran an AMAZING thread on this night. It was great fun.
Now, this is what we get? I bunch of whiners, posers, and even some kind of David Duke racist? Wow... we've come a long way, in the WRONG direction.
I get the political slant on all of it. But, it's not ALL that way. I choose what I want to go see, and what I won't. There are still some good things out available. Hacksaw Ridge, for example, was outstanding. As was Unbroken a few years ago. I loved La La Land this year, and I normally HATE musicals. They seem to be much better when you actually LIKE the music.
What a weird ending to a weird show. Typical, I guess. Since Trump was elected, my wife has been saying: "The WORD OF THE YEAR for 2017 will be: Unprecedented". Hearing it a lot again today. :-)
