    I can separate the art from the artist. for example I like the monster hunter series by Larry Corriea, and the Kildar series by John Ringo. Both are massive right wing dumbasses. So I consume their content, I just make sure to never pay for it so they never get a dime from me.

    On a side note, if you want a good laugh,you really should read Ringo’s 2008 novel “The Last Centurion.”

    It’s his take on a global environmental catastrophe and how a poorly substituted Hillary Clinton clone bungles the whole thing.

    The best part is he’s come damn close to predicting how the Trump administration works right now. It’s fuckin’ hilarious!
