I love when Us-vs-Them tribalists are shocked and appalled to discover that people whose politics they disagree don't necessarily disagree on matters of taste that have nothing to do with politics. "But they're baaaaad. How can they like the same things I do? They better take that back, because I wouldn't want to have to stop liking the things I like. But certainly I can't have the same tastes as someone who's eeeeeevil."

Fun fact that makes silly people's heads spin: Rush Limbaugh is an enthusiastic fan of Apple products.

Of course there's no reason this should be surprising. Apple products are appealing to those willing to spend more money for an aesthetically pleasing design, and as a gajillionaire Limbaugh wouldn't even notice a couple thousand extra dollars spent on personal electronics. But for some reason that doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, people don't expect this because they believe Apple products are somehow for liberals and not conservatives.
