    So many people, libs especially, fail to understand that the colloquial meaning of “political” especially to reactionaries, doesn’t mean involving politics, it means involving heterodox politics.
    Kneeling at a football game during the Anthem is “political” yet having players stand for the Anthem, which is recent and part of a military recruitment campaign (not joking) somehow isn’t.
    I live in a liberal enclave inside a larger red area and I’ve found that “no politics allowed” never actually means that, it just means toe the line or GTFOH, which can be initially confusing being that there’s two very different clashing ideologies common in the area, separated by some very fuzzy boundaries, both of which I disagree with.

      Yea noticed the same thing. “No politics” means chuds are allowed to say gay people are pedophiles and should be rounded up but also means you can’t call them a dumbshit bigot for saying that, that would be political.
