As for your other point, I'd have to respectfully disagree and carry on supporting strawberry. Without abusing him and telling him I will no longer play in his team because he likes chocolate and I dont! Even though I love my team, love my sport and think he's a pretty awesome, experienced coach.... Because chocolate v strawberry is much more important than all that... "Grab yer pitchforks!" (for the record, I prefer chocolate!)

When all's said and done, 'I like chocolate more than strawberry' isn't going to cause offense, upset or alienation from people who disagree. 'I don't think you should have the right to do this or that' is, and when you endorse a political candidate you are also endorsing their often very divisive views.
The people on Facebook may well be thinking that by endorsing Mitt Romney, Meat has now publicly declared his views on all kinds of topics - women's rights, gay rights, military, taxes, healthcare and so on. I'd wager previously none of us really wondered about what Meat thought of those issues. Personally, I had no real desire to know and was happy that people from all walks of life could come together and enjoy the music without thinking about that.
Why does it matter what presidential candidate Meat supports? I don't know, ask him. He's the one who decided to make it a matter of public record.
Should it change the way his fans think or feel in any way? If not, then why bother doing it?
