Your response is indicative of exactly the problem [1]: you're leaping to a partisan conclusion, because I dared to criticize something related to politics. I remember when New Yorkers made fun of crap like this.

[1] to be specific: the reflexive political toxicity that is melting everything into a morass of partisan goo.
