That’s because for the Left, politics is their Religion.
Like many Religions they are determined to force it on you.
The State is their God, and they are determined to run the State.
Don’t these people stop and think about how idiotic they appear?

An American politician is always on the lookout for an issue to jump in front of, a group they can lead and get free airtime on the news with (i.e. political advertising pretending to be news). And they are of course always on the side which makes them look good, even if it means they need to switch sides (Iraq war), go against their stated moral convictions (many openly Catholic Democrats on abortion)...
This is the sort of crap that truly defines the American politician: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_Advisory I was already older when this was a big deal, but I remember it well. It was idiotic even back then. All I thought even back then, is had you put a label like that on something, I would have wanted to listen to it, even if I don’t care for that genre of music just to hear what the big deal is about. Honest to God, I think that label became something which helped sales for some rap artists!!! LOL
I wonder, does Gore, while sitting in his mega mansion, riding around in his huge SUVs, and flying around in jets ever go back and watch himself foaming at the mouth, screaming about “Global Warming” and the impending apocalypse and feel even just slightly silly?
I’m waiting for an American politician to draft up a law against sun spots, solar flares, or magnetic polar drift. How about death. Can they pass a law against that? Or will an idiotic and ineffective mask save my life?
I wish they would all shut up, or at least choose their issues wisely. Sadly, the problem is largely the result of an ignorant public that cares about pop-culture trash while ignoring the real issues out there. So a Ted Cruz (whom I did not support in 2016 but has impressed me of late) gets practically no airtime while pushing for legislation regarding rare earth resources, which has a strategic impact on our nation. In the meantime every idiot governor doing “something” usually stupid just to show they did something passes rules for mandatory masks get the camera’s. Yes, issues like Floyd, a thug with a long rap sheet, on drugs, a pre-existing heart condition, and resisting arrest, he gets US Congressmen/women out front marching for something (not sure what they really want). https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/06/08/mitt-romney-black-lives-matter-protest-washington-muntean-tsr-sot-vpx.cnn
I do not have much respect for most of these folks that have the title “honorable” before their name. Political ambulance chasers.
