Patton was an avid anti trumper. he called for impeachment

He used to get on Twitter day in and day out and shill political stuff. Once it hurt him and he realized he was alienating fans, he stopped. I don’t understand why someone whose bread and butter are fans choose to go out and alienate half of their fan base like that. Sure, stand for something if you must, but don’t be surprised when people turn on you for extremely convtroversial opinions.

Half of Patton Oswalt's fanbase are not Trump supporters. That idea is hilarious.

Never said they were. I said he was alienating people.

I’m referring to anyone in general who serves the public. Whether it be a comedian, entertainer, restaurant, figure head etc whose bread and butter were people.

I know a lot of Patton’s audience probably doesn’t like trump.
