The band Muse are liberal as hell and hate Trump. My wife liked the band and out of curiosity did some digging to see where they stand politically, she isn't a fan anymore.
This has been one of the hardest things for me, realising all my favourite artists and TV shows are basically satanic pedophiles. People I'd spend loads of money to go see and who shaped my upbringing are now so disgusting I cant even listen to their stuff anymore.
I know this is nothing compared to what those kids go through, but it just sucks to know all these happy memories from childhood have been tainted forever.
I know what you mean. I try to keep the two separate, but they make it hard when they show such disdain for a segment of their audience. It is the hypocrisy that gets me. You will accept my money, then spit in my face. Then they wonder why people get upset. I pay you to entertain me, not lecture.
I don't remember who said it, but I think it may have been a high profile athlete - Jordan maybe? Anyway whoever it was was being criticized for not taking a stand against the Republicans about something and the response was basically, hey, their money is green too. He got it.
And I can't imagine being an artist and risking so much by running my mouth about politics. Dumb move. They deserve to lose it all...nice to see they are!

yeah I get it, it's just a FYI thing.

I cant imagine only consuming art by those I align with politically.
