I feel like there’s kind of an unspoken social pressure to be more or less non-chalant about most conversation topics. Like you’ve gotta know that someone is cool before you can let your guard down and show that you really care about something without it coming across as off-putting for whatever reason.
But not politics! Caring a lot about politics is responsible! And if you’re to a point where you’re already talking to someone about politics, it usually feels like that pressure to be chill has already passed anyway.
Ugh, yes!
