Or it means "I see you watch Fox News on a loop and cheer for the deaths of others, but I want to get through this dinner without a scene" because holidays mean landmines instead of family.

    Why not disown shitty family and not waste your time seeing them?

    I love that people are saying this now. I would have loved it more if they said it for the last three centuries.

    Usually, when people say "not political", they mean they don't give active thoughts or decision making in regards to political issues and just passively take it as it comes. Unless I'm wrong and it's not usually.

    I used to say I was not political because my vote has literally never mattered and stressing about it was bad for my mental health. I live in a blue state with blue policies and blue local government. Mathematically I've never seen a reason to vote and once I did start voting everything I have voted for has been basically no contest.
