Far from being a shocking "admission," it's the least surprising thing in the world that people support policy they like and oppose policy they don't. And ignore policy they're indifferent to.
(People may also at times support policy they don't like and oppose policy they do for various practical political reasons, but that's a different discussion.)
This might be more of an issue in areas where things people do/don't like are arbitrary matters of taste. I'm certainly not saddling up to lead a state-backed charge against the company that produces Peeps despite the fact that I think they're a terrible excuse for candy.
But net neutrality is not an arbitrary matter of taste.
Nor, really, are immigration, tax reform and antitrust issues.
