If a grown adult says they don’t do or care about politics, does that mean that they’re Republican?

Before 2016 people not caring about politics was common.



Of course the lead up to Obama first term and his election got people caring on some tip, cause it was a very exciting event in U.S history. But once the novelty wore off people went back to not caring about politics.



Before 2016 obsessing over politics seemed like some old man shyt. Like I cannot recall most of the people in my social orbit ever talking about politics like that, only my father who is a old head who keeps up with current events

The world existed, before you did, please understand this

It means they believe under the old way of "the President doesn't affect my life at all"

But that logic is no longer the case with trump

And it's hard to do that when he does way too much that'll effect your lives or crowbars his way into every situation that doesn't even involve himself

Nah, they’re #BothSides.

Team #Bothsides: The only SIDE that's actually for the people

It means they believe under the way of "the President doesn't affect my life at all" politicians work for lobbyists and not the general public

Fixed that for you.

Only a bytch ass nikka will be shamed into participating in some shyt he don’t wanna do. fukk a politics

caring about politics means something entirely different than it used to be.

The people who really do care are the ones you’re not seeing. I think the millennial generation is the first generation that made being political an identify.

It’s always black people trying to shame others for not participating in shyt that doesn’t help them anyways. And if it ain’t shaming them, it’s “they probably be republicans anyway”

And this is exactly why #bothsides exist now. Because both political parties are borderline hypocrites and their dumbass followers get dumber by the day.

White Male boomers were the first that made being political an identity in my observations

No, it 99% means they usually are not into politics.

Its people saying they don't care about politics (on the coli)but being all in the political threads talmbout both sides are the same, can only name about 5 politicians (President, AOC, Obama, and a couple of tokens), and never have an insightful thought who are the problem.

Most regular people, even if they vote, do so in a cursory sense. They really don't pay much attention. Even the "Tangibles" folks don't realize most people base their votes on who they feel can do the best job without any details given. The "I would have a beer with them" crowd.

Replace 'collect underpants' with "make my life easier" and you have most people's perspective on politics. They literally don't know what happens between the vote and whatever politicians do nor do they care, especially the worse their education is.
