Unfortunately, yes, just like any other niche. I have distanced myself from a few musician friends because they absolutely cannot resist injecting incredibly toxic politics into every aspect of their lives. Vote for whoever you want, but every conversation is not an invitation to blather on about the talking points of the week.
I mean, yeah obviously, but the kind of person I'm talking about isn't going to listen to me telling them why they shouldn't. Given that, the best we can hope for is not talking about it.
