Reminds me of the old USSR -- Comrade Stalin delivers a speech and at various points, of course, the audience applauds. And no one wants to be the first to stop applauding because then the secret police will call you a traitor. So the applause goes on and on and on.
I imagine everyone in the entertainment business now walks on eggshells. You have to be very PC, but if you go too far Left, you become Brie Larson. If you hate Trump insufficiently, you become Roseanne.
Who wants to live in such gear?
