I used to say that “politics is not my thing,” because my experience with politics and thereafter elections has always been violence, waiting out to see when there’ll be a ceasefire, losing friends, neighbors and colleagues in riots and fights with the police.
So, if you asked me this in 2007, I would look away and let you run your mouth.
If you asked me this in 2013, I would do the same-and in 2016, 2017 and some time in 2018.
After 2018, I learned that though I may choose not to speak my mind concerning politics and its affairs, I am still affected by the decisions it influences-and sometimes, when you say it’s ‘none of my business,’ or ‘it’s not my thing,’ it clearly is your thing and your business- you just aren’t ready to deal with or face the consequences of sharing an opinion.
