When did he unfollow him? And for what reason presumably? It all goes down to image, Gunn's past was being brought into question and the worst case scenario was talked about from every corner, being associated with such a person does not aid public perception of Evans as a celebrity. In today's entertainment industry landscape much of California are democrat and unless a fellow democrat is sitting in the big chair at the White House it is welcome to criticize POTUS and their decision making and all associated with them - When Bush Jr. served his two terms people were very critical of him and took every chance to ridicule him. When Obama was elected into office you almost never heard industry pros criticize him, he was their golden boy who could do no wrong, and as such entertainers actually focused on...Entertainment. They wanted Hillary in the White House, they said she was an angel who could do no wrong and they were very confident she'd re-claim the White House as her home, but most of America voted red and they were all shocked. Since then most outlets of entertainment and their content creators have been very critical of Trump and any decision he makes. It's the popular thing to do, and as places like Twitter are very left leaning its welcome to trash him as it can bring attention to you and make you seem more important than you already were. Ironically, a lot of the average Joe and Josephine are getting bored by being lectured about politics from the ones who provide them their entertainment so they're looking elsewhere - Star Wars has gone from one of the biggest openings in the last couple years with 2015's The Force Awakens to one of the worst with Solo this year. A big reason why is because the politics of the franchise became too apparent and on the nose with the world of today, coupled with several industry professionals being unprofessional and rude to all critics and fans of the IP. What is also ironic about this whole political divide is that at least ten years ago people were not particularly fond of Hillary Clinton and didn't want her to step foot in the White House again, and people were actually welcoming to Trump - often asking for endorsements and cameos in movies and TV. Different story to day though... People weren’t going out of their way to praise Trump 10 years ago. Trump was viewed as a washed up, D-list celebrity who headed the Birther movement before he ran for president. Most people didn’t care for him back then, not even his current supporters. Likewise, someone voting for Hillary Clinton doesn’t mean they think she’s an “angel”. A lot of people wanted Bernie Sanders, and many of the people who did vote for Hillary Clinton only did so because they viewed her as the lesser of two evils. Hell, even despite what a lousy candidate she was, she still technically received nearly three million more votes than Trump.

Hell, even despite what a lousy candidate she was, she still technically received nearly three million more votes than Trump. I don't know if I'd call Trump a D-list celebrity if we're talking about ten years ago, his wealth was definitely worth opening a dialog about and to report on if something were to come up about it and his show The Apprentice was pretty popular. Personality wise people thought of him as what they assumed he was from the way he expressed himself on TV - not someone with the strongest sense of class but successful enough that its hard to deny he knew how to do business, and if you by any chance got thumbs up or a dollar from him it was worth bragging about. I'll give you what you say about Hillary, some people I know personally who are okay with sharing their political views voted for her simply because they thought she was just the lesser of two evils, "hey at least she has political experience" as what a friend told me the days before the election. Keep in mind when I say people on the left thought of or consider her to be an "angel" I'm not really saying everybody did, but the percentage who do were and still are pretty vocal. I should be more specific in the future, my apologies for coming off as too general with my selection of words and description.
