Politics have always been divisive. That’s why people make a habit of not discussing politics at, for instance, dinner parties. It’s just rude. Because it inevitably makes people argue.

But social media has multiplied the rude and divisive factor by a factor of about a gazillion. If you’re a celebrity of any type, and you’ve got a thick skin, one of the ways you deal with this is by publicly reading a collection of self-directed mean tweets. The Blaze just issued a good one by Ben Shapiro and Allie Stuckey.

Gotta give equal time to the other side, so here is Barack Obama reading mean tweets. Enjoy!
