872: Kinetic Kill

Political Vandalism and Social Media Echo Chambers

The segment reports on the destruction of Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and local incidents of vandalism against Trump supporters' property. Adam Curry shares an anecdote about a private Facebook group for former MTV employees where supporting Trump is treated as a "social faux pas." The hosts argue that the lack of visible Trump support, such as bumper stickers, is due to fear of retribution and property damage.
