The Spring-Nuts fan club has announced that it is ending its operations and has told its more than 18,000 Facebook members that they will have to look elsewhere to indulge their support of the “Born in the USA” singer thanks to Springsteen’s constant political activism that has the fans at each other’s throats. The club’s Facebook page has already been deleted.
But before being deleted, the members joined with the agreement that they must “Respect everyone’s choices and opinions. You don’t have to agree with them but you must respect them. NO DRAMA. No infighting here or you’re gone. That simple. That quick. No hesitations.” But, thanks to Springsteen’s hate for Trump and Republicans, the fan page became a battle ground. “As Bruce became more outspoken about his politics, something we understood and respected as his absolute right, we found ourselves facing a difficult balancing act,” club founder Howie Chaz told Asbury Park Press. “How could we be a Bruce Springsteen fan community trying to protect that harmony and camaraderie and ignore messages and statements coming directly from the very artist who brought us all together?”
“The breaking point was Springsteen’s endorsement of El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate race,” Chaz added.
