    Can someone please provide context as to why this (not cheering) is protrayed as a valid reaction? I feel that I am missing some kind of context.

        Ahem.

        Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat of my state, pushed a bill called the Accountable Capitalism Act, requiring the board of each major company to be 40% voted in by their employees. In my eyes it would have been a fantastic move to limit capitalism’s damage. It did not pass because half of the senators in Congress are in a cult.

        Take. That shit. Out. Of your mouth.

      During the state of the union address, Donald Trump made a 13yo, who beat brain cancer, an honorary member of the secret service. It was one of many emotional plays he made to make Democrats look bad for not cheering and standing and clapping like the Republican half of the room. He made multiple jabs at democrats for not applauding things he was doing.

      So obviously it all feels like pandering and emotional manipulation when he’s also out there cutting Medicare/Medicaid and making things harder for people who are fighting things like brain cancer.
