the word "political"

I told my budding gun-nut of a brother a story about my daughter's 4 hour lockdown at school, where real guns were found.
He said I was being "political".
Now we have Trump, a 24-7 politician, being indicted and it's "political".
Anyone else feel this word is being sorely abused???
If we prosecute a fish, is the prosecution "aquatic"? Of course it is!

When victims talk about real danger, the abuser pretends the situation is harmless.
And even blames the victim for making it all up.
