Minimize/Maximize/Ostracize/Politicize/Prioritize/Criticize/Sympathize/Lionize. What ya do/say depends on yer politics. Is that wize?

For many what they say and do does depend on their politics. The problem I see for many that do politicize everything is that they have lifted up their political views to the level of religion. In American society, many are more likely to see political views as non-negotiable aspects of their true selves.  For far too many Americans, politics has become a religion. People find their meaning in it. They define themselves by their stands. . . . When politics becomes a religion, then simple disagreements become apostasies, heresies. And you know what we do with heretics. I see that happening within my own family and right here in AM. Politics has become their religion. and to answer the last part of your question, no, it is not wise. It is destructive.
