See that's not true, you know that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In fact I often wonder what it must be like for far right conservatives who love a particular artist or musician only to find that the artist is a complete liberal or even worse a socialist commie.

Music groups like Tool used to have a wide range of fans and it's a fact Maynard is quite liberal-minded. This must really be disappointing to those who loved Tool only to find out Maynard is a raging liberal that constantly makes fun of Trump.

There are tons of examples other than Tool of course. I wonder if people disown their passions and love of an artist or music group when they find their political ideology doesn't correlate?

Personally I don't care what political group a musician follows I listen to music strictly for how it sounds to me, but I could see how some bitter angry people could easily start hating an artist due to not sharing political ideologies with them.
