If only that were true, but political issues have crept into many technical topics in such a way that it is hard to avoid them altogether. Maybe a 'political' flag on politicised (sub)threads can help, together with an option to hide such threads. On some days it will be very quiet here for those who have chosen to hide politics but that only makes them more productive.

I do see what you're saying (and this has been happening since the last US presidential election, so over four years now).

However, I have a bunch of unpopular opinions, and have almost never been downvoted, because I avoid taking sides on political arguments.
