Trump supporters are hopping angry that the audience at the “Hamilton” play booed Mike Pence and then the cast gave him a good lesson in diversity or something – after he left the play.
So they’ve been trending “Boycott Hamilton” all day:
Speech about how to treat people.
Boos VP Pence.
Holds auditions for 'non-whites' only.
Libs, your hypocrisy is showing#BoycottHamilton

Mike Pence being harassed is not surprising. Liberals are intolerant. They attack people with different beliefs than them. #BoycottHamilton

#BoycottHamilton Mike Pence paid to see a show. Instead, the world got to see what the Tolerant Left really looks like.

#BoycottHamilton Because when you fail to support & respect our VP-Elect, Pence, millions of Americans will fail to support & respect you.

This is all absurd and ridiculous. As if boycotting on Twitter will do anything other than satisfy the smug feelings of Trumpers on social media. This is what we’ve become – a nation of online snark trolls.
Of course, smug liberals are also tweeting to try to spoil the effort:
Ah, yes! Let's #BoycottHamilton because a cast member dared to use their right of free speech to express concerns to an elected official.

Asking for ALL HUMANS to be treated equal is bad? Just seeing this hashtag make me furious! This is out of control! #BoycottHamilton

#BoycottHamilton perfect example of white supremacists getting angry when minorities are "out of their place."

I have to think that the people who are “boycotting” Hamilton aren’t the kind of people who would go to that play anyway:
Ok but am I supposed to believe that the people who want to #BoycottHamilton were going to see a racially-diverse rap musical to begin with?

And, because they’re not the kind of people to go see “Hamilton,” they have no idea that it is so popular there are no tickets to purchase or boycott:
CONSERVATIVES: We were gonna buy tickets, but not anymore! #BoycottHamilton!
BOX OFFICE: We're already sold out for the next year, but ok.

#BoycottHamilton You mean there'll be more tickets available and less bigots at the shows? I'm all for this!
— Nate Hoss (@NateHoss) November 19, 2016
I don't see how you can #BoycottHamilton from outside the theater? You can't even get in!

Seriously, it’s like one mindless cult launching impotent social media missiles at another mindless cult from their mutually impenetrable echo chambers. A pox on everyone.
