(Not a response to you lol)
My friend in Talos, everything is political. Saying "X is not political" says that you're privileged enough to not see how X is political.
Conservatives pull that out whenever they are about to go against Trump. They think their opinion will have more weight with other conservatives if they sound less political.
Really? I tend to see this most often when someone says dumb shit they know is indefensible so they can justify not replying
Nobody can keep themselves out of politics. It just doesn't work that way, because politics works its way into your life wherever you go. You can choose not talk about it, which is typically an endorsement of the status quo, and that in itself is a clear political message that you're sending to people around you.
