This is exactly the kind of comment I was trying to prevent with the "at all" and your image being adversely affected by association with the other. Please look at the comment in the whole context and not pick the parts that make it look unreasonable.

There are always things that people disagree on, but they are not going to adversely affect you because of their belief. I can be an omnivore and another can choose to be vegan, but I would not disassociate only on that.

I will be friends with anyone interesting. Especially if that's someone whose opinions are the opposite of mine. That would be fascinating. Let anyone judge me for that as they will.

Find something to stand for, and don't be afraid to be juged for it.

What is it you fear? Someone thinking that because you're friends with a Trump voter, you're a monster somehow?

Let it be publicly known that I'm friends with Trump voters, Hillary voters, Gary Johnson voters, and even someone who once voted for Nader.

I'm ready to be judged.

If I were a public figure who wanted absolutely zero association with something, I'd take steps to make sure I were not associated and could not be reasonably associated with said thing. FB employs a ton of people with widespread beliefs. Palmer happened to be a public figure whose associations with FB could cause discord if not already.
