Anyone else noticing

a trend I'm seeing. Right wing friends post something pro Trump on social media, and when I respond and disagree, I'm suddenly the one who makes the internet too political! OK to post a right wing talking point, but not OK to respond

I was shut down for being too "political" when I responded to a RW rant about how George Soros is the most evil man in the world and subverting shit all over the world.

But the Koch Bros somehow didn't come up.
