A little rant about "political"

[Lulu KC]

I see it everywhere on social media. Someone brings up our government's slow response to the pandemic and a republican says, "This is divisive. Stop making this POLITICAL."

As if the government is not led by elected officials via a political system?

Was it always this way? I can't remember anymore.

Thank you for the opportunity to go nuts once in a while with some people who get it. DU is turning into my safe space.

1. It's the lazy person's way of shutting down the conversation

I've been guilty of it too!

2. Just respond back

So the whole time you were against Obama was "political' and all BS.

3. Very much in line with the gunners and their "can't talk about gun laws NOW" shit...

after every massacre. They don't back off in crises.

4. Of course, it's political.

That's why we're talking about it.

(My standard response is above, and yes. As far back as I can remember, it has always been this way.)
