Politics are a tool for social change. By saying "all politics are bad" you are implicitly supporting the status quo. And by supporting our current status quo, you are basically a Trump supporter.

The very claim that you are supporting the status quo by not being political (which is your stance) is, in and of itself, a political stance. How does that work?

What's your definition of political?

I think it _can_ be political to 'do nothing', but that being said, viciously attacking those taking a neutral stance for increasingly tenuous and subjective reasons is also very dangerous.
