As noted elsewhere, Liberals have made politics their religion...What they really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy....for them, politics is the means to secular salvation. The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa...Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.

It's also worth noting that safety in numbers is also at play. Moldylocks wrote of fear before heading out to Berkeley (where she got clocked) but she was comforted by the (alleged) numbers of equally-deranged secularists (who also got clocked).

I have been to the opera and punk shows. I find the punks to be pretty normal to fairly right-leaning while many opera-goers are pompous beyond belief.

Classical music is a dying genre - it would behoove the orchestra members to grow their audience. Alas, their mistaken quest for a liberal theocracy coupled with their belief that there are more of them than us Deplorables will lead to them living in a van by the river, while rockers at least can make the rent.

“Classical music is a dying genre...”

When the leftists achieve their secular theocracy you will be *required* to attend that which they deem important.
