What ladyrogue79 said. Way back in the dark ages (pre-internet) I'd look up magazine and newspaper articles about my favorite entertainers and authors, and I'd usually be really disappointed by something they said or did. It would ruin the enjoyment I'd get from their films/books/etc., so I stopped reading about them.
Today I follow a small handful of actors on Twitter...those who are especially funny or who tweet behind-the-scenes pics, things like that. I've steadily unfollowed those who have made nasty and/or untrue comments during the conventions and debates. I have to ignore and overlook those comments from people I consider friends, but I don't care to be subjected to them from some Hollywood jerk.
I wouldn't waste my time trying to convince them they're in error...they don't know me so they're not going to care what I think. I would just unfollow celebs who make those kinds of comments and enjoy their performances on the screen. If it makes you feel any better, the few Conservative celebs who are brave enough to admit it usually say there are more of them in the business than we know.
