American politics has eaten everything, even my beloved Simpsons Shitposting sub. And my Star Trek Memes sub.

When you comment to complain, you get "Star Trek has always been political", "The Simpsons has always been political".

Yeah... but Star Trek memes hasn't always been. /r/SimpsonsShitposting used to be funny, not just sarcastic eye-rolls about [current-republican-bogey-man/woman strawman].

Hopefully after this cycle the MAGAism dies out (assuming Trump doesnt win) and politics becomes boring again
You’ll likely have worse problems on deck in that case, with no fashionable scapegoat to blame this time, even if we consider the effects of the wars alone. If you’re complaining about hearing too much about political drama, that just means you’ve been insulated from the real problems that haven’t reached your social class yet. I predict it won’t be long though.
