Before we all start remembering Meatloaf, here is his wikipedia "politics" page
Meat Loaf was not officially registered with any political party. He performed at the 1997 pre-inauguration ball for re-elected Democratic President Bill Clinton[129] and attended the 2001 inauguration of Republican President George W. Bush.[130] He donated to the presidential campaigns of Republican candidates Rick Santorum and John McCain, the latter of whom became the party's nominee in the 2008 presidential election.[131]
On October 25, 2012, Meat Loaf endorsed Mitt Romney for president, citing poor relations with Russia as a major reason he had been "arguing for Mitt Romney for a year".[132] He said, "I have never been in any political agenda in my life, but I think that in 2012 this is the most important election in the history of the United States." He then said there are "storm clouds" over the United States and "thunder storms" over Europe: "There are hail storms – and I mean major hail storms! – in the Middle East. There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhere."[132] The same day, he performed "America the Beautiful" standing next to Romney.[133][134]
In a 2017 interview with Billboard, he said positive things about Donald Trump, Ivanka and Donald Jr. (they had worked together on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011).[135]
In an interview with Daily Mail in 2021 he called Greta Thunberg "brainwashed" due to her views on climate change.[136]
He was a Trumper. No tears shed, even if I liked the music.

are genetically coded but nurture plays a larger part.
Whatever, apparently MRIs can often indicate whether someone's one of the two basic personality groups, conservative or liberal, by the parts of the brain more used (larger). And conservative brains supposedly tend to run new input past emotional centers before sending it for cognitive analysis, as opposed to liberal brains which do cognitive and then send that result for emotional reaction. Nothing's ever completely cut-and-dried, of course, but that would seem to explain a whole lot right there.
No surprise that research, and reporting on it, has been hampered by the poor reaction to reporting of studies roughly a decade ago. 
Or even that he went onstage supporting Mittens. Speaking out publicly against climate change and dragging Greta Thunberg then again against covid mandates lowers my opinion of the man considerably however...
