Why am I just now learning that Scott Herman is a Trump supporter?

Was just browsing some old Facebook posts of his and found this.

Most will probably just ask, Who? But he's a pretty popular fitness trainer and former Real World Brooklyn cast member.

Also an ally to the LGBT community so that's why I'm surprised.

Though this is from just before the election, I wonder if his views have changed or evolved at all.

If he supported Trump/Pence, he is not an ally to the LGBT community.

I don't know much about him, but I'm not surprised a male in the fitness world leans conservative. It's rare to find progressive or liberal heterosexual men in the fitness industry.

Why is that, R2? Not that I think of fitness as particularly liberal, but I also don't think of it as particularly conservative.

I am not sure why. I just think back to the many men I've me in the world of fitness (through family members who are in it themselves) and the majority of the ones I know lean conservative and are also pretty religious. Maybe it's changing with the newer generation. The guys I am thinking of are all in their forties.

Gen X leaning con

Gen Y leaning lib

Neither ones, in fitness, tend to be extreme. The people too left appear too crazy to fits, and the people too right appear too dangerous.

No one with a brain is a trump supporter.

It was indicated in The Real World: Brooklyn that Scott was a conservative, as is Chet Cannon. If you watched that season, how are you surprised? Ryan voted for Obama because he thought it would end the Iraq War, but he's probably conservative. J.D. and the girls were the liberals.

You worry about the political leanings of some muscle tool who looks like a Photoshop job gone wrong? Why?

What has he done for the LGB community exactly other than use you for money of some kind? He doesn't care about you, he'll vote for the white mans president.

Herman and Trump ARE both rather lizard-like.

R14 oh shit, you just set yourself up -you cannot oppose the the prevailing opinion, or you go down - look up '"Puritan culture" or "Amish shunning"

His being a Republican was a focal point of his time on the Real World. My guess is people bought into that "ally" bullshit and made assumptions that he wasn't a conservative. His being an "ally" was about getting your money not caring about your rights.

I just thought he was smart enough to know the truth about Trump. Guess not.
