    Do some people just see anything and think “how can I shove politics into this?”

    Dude, think about other stuff. The world is pretty big

      What is bigger than the likely chance that the world’s #1 military power will be run by a fascist dictator?

      Can you imagine what we’ll be like when we don’t even pretend to be doing horrible shit “for democracy”, and it switches to “because we want to”?

      I suspect people see news about an aging rapist and it reminds them of other aging rapists in the news. It’s not “shoving politics in” when it’s the exact same topic.

      Nowadays, some people’s entire identities revolve around politics. Very sad, shallow, simple- minded people.
