As much as it sucks and as tiring as it often is, we need to normalize talking about politics in everyday life because politics is a part of everyday life.

"The personal is political" - The money you make (taxes) and the things you spend it on (tariffs). Your education (school boards) and the roads you drive on (city council). The house you live in (building codes). The stuff you eat and drink (EPA, FDA). The media you watch (FTC). Your ability to travel unimpeded (ICE). Our social norms around race, gender, and class.

It all has roots in politics.
