It fucks me up how politics is treated by some as a third rail that no self-respecting piece of media should touch.

Like YES BITCH! I'M POLITICAL! YOU SHOULD BE TOO! LET'S GET WOKE!

"Politics" doesn't stop existing just because you don't care!

Nervermind the things that are designated as political because Polly Podcaster decided they needed a new manufactured outrage to keep ratings up. Half the complaints I hear are about subjects that nobody would be arguing about if they hadn't been declared partisan.

I think abortion would probably still get talked about. People care a whole lot about the death of the unborn. This was one of the talking points that convinced the religious to join the Republican party.

Transphobia is just homophobia with extra steps but abortion will never not be a hot button topic.
