I am officially offended.
I'm watching the Republican Convention. There was a video montage of influential American figures.
The following received thunderous applause: Barbara Bush, George H.W. Bush, George Bush, Ronald Reagan x 2.
The following were met with absolute silence: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Rosa Parks.
It's not like they just weren't applauding during the Lincoln, King, Jefferson, Parks part of the video because they weren't paying attention. The audience stopped applauding when these images appeared. I don't know what I would do if I were in a room where Barbara Bush was more popular than Lincoln and King. I realize this isn't the majority Republican opinion. Maybe they should have filled in the empty 2/3 of the arena with mainstream Republicans.
