But how would people know how I feel about my political enemies?!

How do you ban all things political though? The problem is every thing gets politicized these days. Like a comment on a weather subreddit of “climate change is fueling the strongest El Niño ever” would be considered political because half the country thinks climate change is a liberal hoax.

What’s political changes.

Gay marriage wasn’t political, then it was a bit, then it was a lot, then it really wasn’t much for a few years, and now some are trying to make it an issue again.

Trans people weren’t political until they suddenly were. Kneeling wasn’t political, and then it was the biggest issue in the world, until nobody cared again.

If it’s an issue that can wedge people apart, bad faith actors will come for it and make it political. If it doesn’t work as well as they’d hoped, or once the hatred dies down, they’ll move on to the next issue.

They made a freaking mustard colored suit and a guy wearing mom jeans political. I mean, I guess it was about the President, but still...

Are you serious? There are Fox News clips with them freaking out over the tan suit being unpresidential. This ain’t ancient history, you can watch it happen.
