For example say you like cake, would you make random comments to a random stranger about your love for cake?
I only hear you commenting about people who like Trump. Do you feel the same about someone commenting about how much they hate Trump? Do you get upset about people talking politics on award shows?
I can't speak for Sterben but I've mentioned to friends lately that I don't give a flying fig what any celebrity thinks about politics, regardless of what side they're on. Why should I? I'm perfectly capable of making up my own mind and don't need to listen to some out of touch, wealthy celebrity expounding their political opinions.
And I agree with the other commenters on this thread who said they don't discuss politics in mixed company. I only bring up politics in the company of close friends who share my views. There are plenty of other topics to talk about with strangers. Why spoil what otherwise might have been a good day by bringing up politics with a stranger?
