Would you feel the same way if the message was "make America great again"?

And yes I did remove python from a big private repo and will argue against it at work when the question arises.

No, because as much as MAGA people will proclaim the ideologies don't have equal legitimacy. MAGA tried to perform a coup, are we forgetting this?

A poem about loving thy neighbor or some bullshit is not on the same level of political legitimacy as MAGA. It's not, and you know that. So why bullshit me?

Great for you. Personally, I think if this was the sole reason you removed Python that's pretty pathetic and you're someone I would consider overly emotional in decision making. But, if it sparks joy for you, then good.

For the record, Python is a shit language and good ecosystem with some okay-ish tools. I think removing python from your projects is probably a boon.
