In this day and age it's dangerous to let anyone know your political leanings. Polite discourse has gone out the window on both sides and it's no longer that "I disagree with you but still respect you" and has changed to "You are wrong and you are evil because you don't agree with me". I'm sure that anyone in the hobby, provider or client, who spews their political opinion in social media are probably hurting their business (from a provider point of view) or missing their chances at seeing some wonderful providers (from a client point of view).
We live in some very disappointing times when we've gone from just disagreeing to being totally disagreeable.
