Can confirm - i've retweeted some of the recent "hang mike pence" related tweets. The great thing, that this title doesn't clarify, is that a lot of the trending tweets (at least of recent, and what i RT) are not promoting the hanging of pence, but speaking out against it and the people who say it. I've never liked mike pence, we have opposing perspectives - but man, i have never even thought about hanging him. But these rioters, who in theory are part of his party, were there and ready to hang him because he didn't do what they wanted, just did his job. Something I have to give him credit for.

I've (anecdotally) observed this is the case with some trending topics. You'll go check out something like #BabyKillingIsGood (not real, I made this hash tag up obviously), thinking, wow that's crazy, the hashtag invokes an idea I find quite objectionable as would any reasonable person. And 99.9% of the tweets on that hash tag are, "Um, actually, killing babies is not good. #BabyKillingIsGood #DumbIdea #No #Disagree #Etc."

    Yeah, got me to click. After seeing enough of that, I stopped assuming the topic indicated support (or lack of support) for the idea it conveyed. They became less interesting to me at that point.
