    the issue is that ‘political’ people inject their politics into everything, and want to put every comment and commentator into the prejudged boxes they regard as right and wrong.

    they don’t care about what anyone says. just about passing judgement and feeling superior.

      The unfortunate part is that politics isn’t necessarily tied to government. People get political over anything they identify with

        Political, or tribal? Political is supposed to mean compromising on solutions to tough and intertwined problems. Not throwing on a jerzy and rooting for your dumbass team regardless of what they do or say…

      It’s not even always that I disagree with what people on here say, I’ve been a 3rd party/independent voter most of my adult life, hardly a Trump fan, but if I post about where to find good fajitas in Dallas I don’t want to hear a manifesto. A fanatic is someone who won’t change their mind and won’t change the subject, and a lot of lemmings fit that bill as evidenced by this very thread.
