The GOP uses their media to say “no politics” while they stuff the courts with judges and poison our environment.

Screw. That.

Talk about politics. ESPECIALLY if someone’s a Trumper and uncomfortable. That’s the POINT. Trumpers should be uncomfortable. Those kids separated from their parents are d*mn uncomfortable and the least we can do is to talk about it. Talking politics is doing your part.
