The mating call of the MAGAt...

either they’re too privileged to care, or they don’t understand that people aren’t pledging loyalty to abstract ideologies. people care about politics because politics have material consequences.

Exactly 💯

Or it means, "I've given up because I have been lied to and disappointed over and over again, and have lost faith" Some people have a lot of hurt and a lot of anger, not because they don't care about anyone else, but because no politician has cared about them.

“I play golf with any president who asks. Doesn’t matter if he’s a rapist and a pedophile. I’m not political.”— Harry Kane

So true!

One of the 90m non-voters.

Hollywood.

correct:

For sure!

Jehovah’s Witnesses do not vote in elections because of their religious belief that Christians should remain politically neutral. 🤔

Or “I disagree with you, but I know if I say that I’ll have to explain why and look like a piece of shit”.

You spotted it on.

"i don't get political" = "I'm going to rape you and know the police will charge *you* for being trans if you report me"

You're either political too soon or too late, there is no in-between. Passivity isn't a neutral safe haven.

Exactly and fuck that noise😡

I get this from a lot of my acquaintances that voted for Trump. They are suddenly apolitical. Which is bullshit. They should have not voted of they really don’t care.

“Identity politics” = politics

There are a lot of people like that, and many will still vote for the people that are hurting them.

It’s their right. Quit being so judgmental

💯

“'I don't get political' translates to 'This isn't hurting me yet and I don't care that it's hurting you.'” Exactly!

Haha like that creep before the Senate. ah uh um I am just not going to discuss that no i just don't talk about such things ah no um uh.

And this is why so many Americans are struggling. Too many voters/Christians don’t care unless it affects them

Pretty much

All politics hurts. Its the chain around your neck and always will be.

The people who do that don't differentiate between playing politics and playing sports. It's all about strategy. They'll play for any team, it's only the game that matters to them.

That statement is political because it is what comes out of the mouths of RePUKElicans & others who simply do not care, can't be bothered (to VOTE), & others who think they know better than ALL of US & voted for someone other than the OPPOSITION to what we now have shitting in the People's House.

Apathy will kill a society. IMO

One of several MAGA mantras. 🧘‍♂️

"I don't get political" or "I don't pay attention to politics" is pretty much the same as "I voted for Trump, three times" in my mind. Fuck-'em

Even more amazing is it typically IS hurting the person saying this but they’re not making the connection.

I think "I don't get political" means "I know I'm an asshole, but I'm both cognizant to realize that and yet unaware enough to know answering this way still confirms that fact."

Sad, but true—In our self satisfied society until people are directly impacted. It defies all that is humanity.

Perfect analysis!

I bet in another year’s time politics will be an existential matter to them. We are dealing with the results of political apathy right now. But when I hear someone say that, I assume they voted for Trump and don’t want to admit it now.

Or when a white leftist screams at me that the Post-1964 Republican is 100 percent EXACTLY the same as every single human being that runs for any office with a D by their name.

If you "don't do" politics, politics will "do you".

Yup....🎯

@natebargatze.bsky.social

Someone not being political at this time is as evil as those pushing for these policies. Intentional ignorance is not an excuse and anyone would understand the obvious moral failings of watching ppl being victimized and laughing about it, or saying nothing. But once it’s on a huge scale it’s fine?

Failed humans say stupid sht like that.

Yup!

I have many coworkers like this!!

👍💯. Our national apathy may be our undoing!

💯

The flipside is that so many of the BSKY crowd have become so overly political that you see everything in its tint. Every person you meet is measured against your own personal political-virtue yardstick. Most of you have no balanced perspective at all. Everything is black or white, good or evil.

💯

If you live in a political entity (as we all do), you are doing politics by leaving the politics doing to others. The only difference between you and your politically active neighbors is that you are being selfish and irresponsible. In my view, “Not doing politics” is doing politics irresponsibly.

Not true!! It drove me off the edge! I only went on twitter for sports got sucked in!! Had to leave for 2 years !! Now never go on it!!

Spot on. Those at the top of the K shaped economy don’t give a damn. Things might change if the AI economy makes their kids into gig workers

That is absolutely the way it translates in the US!

Some of our fellow Americans have faith that whoever is in charge will do the right thing. Then, those of us who DO vote end up putting psychopaths in charge.

Who was it , Nancy Regan who was homophobic until her child came out of the closet????

Truth with a capital "T."

Word!

Yes. And then they push you under the bus.

Trump / MAGA / Republicans undermine rape victims and supports rape culture: #rapeculture #testosterone #hegseth #foxnews #jessewatters #usmilitary #usnavy #usairforce #usarmy #usmarines #whitehouse #maga #republicans #trump #gop #democrats #epsteinfiles #doj #rapekits

Oh boy did you ever nail that succinctly! That drives me mad. 😡

Indeed. Politics is people.

I hear it as they voted for the scumbag but they're too embarrassed to admit it.

There’s a third-party called “I really don’t care. Do you?” You’re not escaping politics by voting with that party. You’re licking Melony’s panties.

Yup, and it frustrates me to no end. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄😡

You are absolutely correct and I like how you think brother!

🎯🫡🫵

... or, "I think we should just put politics aside and talk about something else".

I don't get political because if they are trumpers,,well, you can't fix dumb

X a TRILLION

Nail on the head

Yup

With this drone technology pretty soon everybody will be “within range” - we better pay attention unless you want to live like gophers ….

Exactly!!

Yeah. Pretty disappointed in Mick Jagger.

Yup. You may claim that you “Don’t do politics” but politics is sure as f*ck doing you…

Well said.

Well said!!

It’s only moral now.

"and I'm too lazy to get off the couch." When the repo man takes away their couch it will be too late.

Fuck right. Exactly.

Exactly.

It can also be "Being informed is too much work and I'm lazy." Or "For God's sake, can't we just enjoy Thanksgiving without talking about the imminent end of times?! This might be the last year we get turkey."

100%

"I willingly believe the lies because I live in morbid fear of the truth".

Oh, don't you worry, Karma is just sharpening her fangs right now...

True!

"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato

Perfect. Thank you.

Or "This is not hurting me and I am a coward."

Absolutely

Not to be confused with “I keep my political opinions to myself while I’m here” which translates to “nothing that I can say will make this crowd empathize with people who are struggling to survive.” - liberal in an overwhelmingly conservative workplace

I thought it meant, "I don't want to admit to being MAGA until I fuck you."

🎯✔️

That’s the truth

I feel nauseated when I come across this kind of blissfully ignorant, arrogant fool. They act so above it all and wouldn't lift a finger to repost some crucial information or speak out against ICE murderers. They are MAGA as far as I'm concerned, and they have plenty of blood on their hands.

It means you are a trumper. Period.

I hear it everyday!

I hear the Li'l Johnson speaking.

Or, "I'm just a lazy selfish fuck."

Correct

True. We are waiting until everyone literally is screwed before demanding “no more criminals in the WH”.

Which is exactly why I can’t keep interacting with MAGA Trump supporters I was friends with - if the admin does not upset you then I don’t want to know you - you are a selfish cunt

It always amazes me that so many people who dont get political moan a hell of a lot about political issues. I tend to translate it to 'i am ashamed to admit to my dodgy politics'

If you're white—particularly if you're a white, cishetero male—and you're "not political," you need to get political right now. And your politics need to take the form of 24/7 atonement for the horrors you've inflicted upon the world.

Exactly. I worry that apathy and indolence will prove to be the REAL undoing of this country.

This is exactly right!!!

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Yup!

Guys, join a #CommunistParty and let these people know they can benefit from a different kind of politics FYI: @communistsusa.bsky.social @demsocialists.bsky.social

Aka I don’t pay attention to all that nonsense (someone who voted for Trump and is somehow still ok)

Pretty much 🤬

Wise words…

#30million8/30 They are literally killing us in our streets. Project 2025 -- If we let them. If we do not assemble a massive march we will appear weak. 30 million marching on August 30th. You need to repost this. It requires all of us to participate. We are not weak and we are unafraid.

I met a lady that was confused by my bumper sticker. Totally perplexed (Her husband is an aggressive republican and decides for her how to vote because "I'm not political").

I always say to them (particularly fellow queers)..."You may not be into politics, but POLITICS SURE IS INTO YOU!"

The same is true about "one issue"

Everything is political, the air you breathe, the water we drink, the roads and bridges we drive on, the food we eat. Be political!

Truth!

So fucking true! … I see this on CNN whenever I happen to see ppl like the smug liar Scott Jennings defending all the garbage that comes from this WH … no empathy, no compassion for ppl who are targets of the abuse … just “oh well, there‘s collateral damage, so what?!”

youtube.com/shorts/FogA_...

This!! Ugh. “I’m not into politics” = “I never give a moment’s thought to the wellbeing of anyone outside my own house.”

100% what it means and I’ve told my own family and friends this, yet they chalk up to being uneducated abt politics…which is another way of saying, “I’m willfully ignorant and don’t care to educate myself.”

Except it IS hurting them in multiple ways--healthcare, education, rights, freedom, economy, financial stability, public safety, infrastructure, jobs. They just don't connect the dots.

Exactly.

Whenever anybody says this to me, I immediately respond with you must be Republican and this is ALWAYS true. They cannot defend the positions of their party and do not care what's happening.

Yep

Yep, vote like the issues affect you. If they don't, vote for the people they affect the most! If that's not obvious... I'm comfortable, but like most, I'm just a paycheck away from ruin. But I vote for things that help the less fortunate. What helps them, also helps me eventually. #EatTheRich

Precisely and how dumb ass maga are too 🤔🤨😤🤬🤬🤬 Big thanks Mark 😊

When hate is in politics, politics become inhumane. Their politics have labeled you an enemy and they’re ok with it, regardless of their apathy.

We HAVE a winner, folks. We HAVE a winner. 🎯

It's no different from those who use the phrase "purity" and "single issue" when referring to the democracy that they are all too willing to sacrifice.

Or "I'm too unaware to know that this IS hurting me."

I am always shocked when RN’s I work with say this. It is probably because I work in Oregon— a Union State.

Translates to I support/supported Trump.

INDEED!!!

unless that person is a millionaire it will hurt them eventually. by then it may be too late to "get political"

Or “it’s too depressing.” Ah, imagine how it is for women, LGBTQ, brown, or people in poverty.

the underlying ethic of the GOP has always been "I've got mine-you're on your own"

Right! 💯

that or it means i dont care who started this we need to focus on how to improve things.

That’s true

exactly.

I strictly engage with politics on my own terms. Few people have the emotional maturity to have a meaningful discussion on politics. It's so much easier to tell them I don't engage with politics.

Exactly.

Exactly. I’m unfortunately surrounded by this!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

extremely accurate

This is why I care and why I endorse reparations for both the peoples of the first nations in America & African-Americans. I'm not African-American. I'm not descended from anyone that belongs to those tribal nations, but I know if I were? I'd want reparations. They got fucked over on a huge level.

For a guy it means that plus it usually also means, “I voted republican but admitting it keeps me from getting laid”. Thankfully women are catching on to what it really means

Exactly - the reasonable people get hurt by their own voters apathy every election - every person needs to participate or at least be aware they are handing the country to criminals if they don’t participate. If the Orange felon did actually win in 2024 it was only because of voter apathy by DEMS

Yes!!! I had to explain that to a clearly privileged person at a party just the other night

Exactly

Absolutely agree
