Apolitical is unacceptable.

Apolitical is impossible.

Right and Wrong have been politicized. Your friends and family are dying due to politics.
Lives are being turned upside down due to politics. To remain apolitical is to check out of the human race.

You are political, like it or not.

I have a family member that has been apolitical, actually apathetic is more like it all his life - but after seeing how trump has handled the Covid crisis he just couldn't take it anymore. He went and registered to vote (as a Democrat) and cast an early ballot for Joe. At the age of 57 he became a first time voter.

However, I look forward to being more or less apolitical in 2021.

You can always spot a closet 2020 Trump voter. They are the apolitical/neutral/undecideds. Bullshit! Biden voters are angry voters. Anger can't masquerade as apolitical/neutral/undecided. Trump voters, one and all. They just have a level of uncertainty and shame that they didn't have in 2016.
