I get really annoyed when people bring up politics on unrelated threads

I know I'm gonna stir up the hornet's nest with this one and I'm generally ok with Americans as a whole, however this one thing always irks me so badly. For some reason no matter what the discussion is about some people will always mention Trump or Obama or I don't know who, even if the topic has absolutely nothing to do with anything political, like this other day when I saw a post on facebook " what shows that a man has insecurities " and so many people said things like "wearing a MAGA hat", "voting for Trump" it's just so annoying how some people are so obsessed with this. Does anyone else feel that way?

We’re a democratic country where people are convinced that their opinion matters more than it does. So this problem is the consequence of that.

@Reject That is understandable, posts do ask for opinion but using unrelated topics to have a petty swing at political opponents seems so lowly... worst part, if you question this act they immediately assume you're a supporter of their opposing side.

@DrSunnyTheSkeptic It is lowly, and people might see how low it is if they weren’t elevating their opinions so much. It doesn’t matter how irrelevant the political comment is if they think it’s more important than the subject at hand.
