    No, it’s a phrase meant to demonstrate that “no politics” is a rule only usable by people whose existence isn’t political. Straight white men existing is not political, but when women’s rights, immigrants rights, LGBT rights are all under attack by the right wing, suddenly their existence is “political” because their right to exist is actively under attack by the current regime.

      Except, “everything is politics” means everything. It doesn’t just mean everyone… Basically, my disagreement with the statement is to say that gravity is not political

        Wait till we get a flat earther in office who denies the existence of gravity, then it’ll be political.

        Tell that to Galileo. Tell it to your kids the way the US is going with the Department of Education being removed.
