'Silicon Valley' stars say they were harassed by Trump supporters

Like coming face to face with a living comment section, Silicon Valleystars Kumail Nanjiani and Thomas Middleditch had an ugly encounter with a couple of Trump supporters Friday.

The comedians were at a bar in Los Angeles when two 20-something white men approached them, Nanjiani recounted on Twitter

The guys immediately wanted to argue about his opposition to Trump, Nanjiani wrote, but when he tried to end the conversation, the situation escalated.

The men got aggressive, calling the actors "cucks" -- an alt-right term for anyone displaying so-called weakness or liberalism.

As Nanjiani pointed out, his bar encounter is unlikely to be the only or worst such incident taking place across America right now.

On Friday, the Southern Poverty Law Center said it had counted at least "201 incidents of election-related harassment and intimidation." The abuse was wide ranging, it explained in a statement, with Americans encountering anti-black, anti-women and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.

On Wednesday, nearly 300 students walked a Baylor University student to class after she reported being called the N-word on campus.

On Friday, black students at the University of Pennsylvania were added to a group text message that called for "daily lynchings."

Muslim women across America also shared stories about being afraid to wear a hijab in public.

Middleditch also tweeted his disgust. Despite the abuse, he decided to reclaim the word "cuck" for himself.

Because this is Twitter, Nanjiani was immediately harassed by trolls who tried to deny the event ever happened.

Perhaps gas-lighting, not baseball, is the new American past time?
