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?

Well, I see this all the time and not just here on SW. I will not mention a party, a political ideology or name because I believe it is about something MUCH MORE IMPORTANT to us all...the ability to think for ourselves.

We have become a pretty unthinking, follow the leader type of society. We have been told what to do, what is and what to believe. Without questioning it; we do it. (go ahead and quote a news media source that this is not true...😳)

Just imagine for a moment, isn't our anger hurting us, keeping us from seeing the truth and questioning the very things that others are trying to point out to us????

I think this is where the right or left sides come into play; they call it
"identity politics" and they play one side against the other...
being the THIRD or tie breaking voice, the government or powers that be,
let us fight against each other and they win. We lose. All of us.

Now PLEASE go ahead and make this political; it will only prove my point.
*off soapbox* Thank you.
