Political? For everyone outside of America that's just common sense.
In Canada it’s starting to become “political” since our morons are egged on by the morons down south.
It's so exhausting, they treat it like a sport, it's not about making anyone's lives better it's all just about their team winning
It’s people creating their own victories because they’re lacking their own.
Love your username, btw!
Hello I'm a trans person from the UK here to tell you this is sadly not the case at all.
Politics used to be something people engaged in. Now politics is the core to a lot of people's identities, which means disagreement or debate is perceived as a personal attack and people will embrace a tremendous amount of cognitive dissonance to avoid being wrong.
I despite this “trend” of considering just simple opinions and basic statements as “political”. It’s been watered down and turned into a meaningless tag.
Outside the US this no longer has to be political, is probably more what it really is.
