> politics aren't focused on making your life worse, or making you feel unwelcome.

Oh they are, I just prefer to focus on good things rather than bad things.

> things are pretty good for you.

Things are pretty good for me, but it's not because of politics.

I'm not refuting your generalization about the slogan and how some people perceive it. It's definitely not good that we're in a situation where this is happening.

Please be very careful about assuming things about other people, else you will fall into the same trap as people of hate. I never indicated that the slogan and its background don't apply to me, and I'm not dismissing it.

I don't want this to become an arguement or be dismissive of anyone's views, I just want to make sure that people don't drag politics into a place where it doesn't belong, and not to make bad assumptions which don't help at all.

If you can afford not to focus on them, then trust me, they are absolutely not focused on doing that. Your experiences is very different from those who are actually suffering from them.

> Things are pretty good for me, but it's not because of politics.

Only because you class those things that go in your favour as "not politics" and only those that challenge your position as "politics".
