...

ha, true.

When Shania Twain said she'd have voted for Trump, Twitter was full of people sperging out, saying she was "cancelled". I'm not sure if she was universally adored, my impression was she was at best quite liked, at worst largely forgotten?

Many folk are fickle I think when it comes to celebrity. Most reasons they have for "liking" others are largely superficial ones... but get right down to it, the knitty gritty.. and people find reasons to dislike someone if they no longer fit within some perceived box.

We see this kind of thing play out in CBB/BB sections every season... people like to think they're backing a "winner"... or at least someone who can maybe rise to that challenge... but then people also love to get behind a good underdog... so it's always interesting to see how those fandoms play out. Especially when pet issues or political narratives come into play... it's easy to see where people duck down when their fav is no longer one of the crowd favorite(s).
