Why must people keep to themselves?

Because it annoys the hell out of people having to hear about and it's common a consecration to not bother people with this bullshit. For example say you like cake, would you make random comments to a random stranger about your love for cake?

I only hear you commenting about people who like Trump. Do you feel the same about someone commenting about how much they hate Trump? Do you get upset about people talking politics on award shows?

I can't speak for Sterben but I've mentioned to friends lately that I don't give a flying fig what any celebrity thinks about politics, regardless of what side they're on. Why should I? I'm perfectly capable of making up my own mind and don't need to listen to some out of touch, wealthy celebrity expounding their political opinions.
And I agree with the other commenters on this thread who said they don't discuss politics in mixed company. I only bring up politics in the company of close friends who share my views. There are plenty of other topics to talk about with strangers. Why spoil what otherwise might have been a good day by bringing up politics with a stranger?

I do not watch any award shows, and yes I do get annoyed by politics in general from random strangers. In the company of people I know, it's a sore subject. The only time politics comes up is when we are talking anime or a television show. I understand it, and I know the references, but for the most I'm done caring about the subject in general. But, you never answered my question though. If had a love for cake, would you bring up the subject up in a non bakery or restaurant setting, or to a random stranger?

I agree with you completely, this part of the whole "We the white have our country back" crowed needs to calm the fuck down. They are becoming a major problem in today's society. You can be proud of your ethnic back ground, just don't be too be loud about it. When Obama was in office, I did not notice a single black that I knew personally get all juiced up like these Trump people are. Why can't people just keep to them selves? I wish life worked like a message board, you don't see me bitching about other peoples threads. If you want to participate in a thread, you open it and read it and comment if you like. If you don't like the title, you don't open it and move on to a thread you want to read based on the title. It's not hard to follow that simple philosophy right?

Probably not. But you didn't mention that you don't like to discuss politics with strangers. You just said you don't want people to tell you about how much they like Trump or what great things he's doing.

The association was in the Trump talk, if your talking about Trump your generally talking about politics. So, I was under the assumption that we were all on the same page here. If it's Democrats, Republicans, or independents they all regurgitate the same shit. It's best to avoid the topic all together to avoid conflicting opinions. If your going to fight about something with others, it's best to make sure that you have a valid opinion prepared. If you don't your just talking out of your ass ; we all do it in some capacity, it takes a wise person to admit to they have little to no knowledge on a subject. I on the other hand do not wish to acquire any more knowledge on him or the whole toxic climate in which we govern the country. As I said before all that matters to me is a stable relationship with Japan, and a free and open source internet. It leaves me in my own little bubble in which I'm more joyful to live in, having to absorb others toxic is something I should not have to deal with it.
The internet is a place to where I can apply my own filters and only focus on subjects relevant to my own path. You don't see me getting personal with a subject too often. When I do, you see like this and when I'm annoyed by something others have forced upon on me. I take very personal and do everything I can run from the issue.

I'll discuss politics with close friends who don't share my views, as well. Of course, they're close friends because I know that 1) they're good thinkers, 2) that they know how to not get butthurt over disagreements, and 3) they usually have something to teach me.
But strangers? Yeah, GFY, pal.

Exactly, that's a mess you don't want to get involved in. So, why is this occurring more often around the country? Is it a white entitlement philosophy? All because whites feel they were under attack and now they get to fight back, that is what I think is going on. When that is far from the truth as you get. They were never under attack to begin with, nor was their culture. I have more pressing concerns to worry about then give a person a lecture on the mass injustices white people have done to others and to themselves. If your that stupid and can't research the subject on your own, then you should not be flaunting your perverted views because your Demagogue has created a safe-space for you to say what ever you like without consequences.
