Ngl I watched the video and it really seemed to me like Jack Black said "thank you" as a way to smile and nod and move on. Regardless of whether or not he thinks it, whether he agrees, whether he's said it in private, whether he's a democrat, he's not the one who said it. What do people expect him to have done? Call off the show then and there, scold his bandmate on what's politically acceptable to say?
It was absolutely the wrong thing to say and Gass is reaping what he sowed, but it sucks to see Jack Black catch so much shit by association. I don't think he played it wrong. He broke up the band, man. What else does he have going on?
I don't think the band broke up, they'll just take a break during the rest of the election cycle. No point continuing to perform when the crazies are sending you death threats.
