Politics trumps everything, all the time. It was always so and will always be so. The reason is because politics is first and foremost about self interest on a large scale.
The reason things seemed less political in the past was because people in this country were more in agreement about cultural values. Democrat or republican, pretty much everyone agreed about respecting the flag and military. People shared common cultural values. So politically we were on the same page with major issues.
With the advent of multiculturalism and “diversity is our strength”, the consensus on cultural values has disappeared, and that’s causing things to appear more politicized.
The real problem is the advent of multiculturalism and the breakdown of cultural shared values. .
