Something that's becoming common (and predates trump) is to say "I don't want to get political, but issue <x> is a matter of morals and there is no room for debate" As things continue to polarize, the list of items that are "beyond politics" and considered too critical to avoid continues to grow. If you want to discuss politics, just discuss politics, but don't disguise it as a situation so outrageous that it somehow eclipses politics. Any time someone acts like they truly cannot comprehend why roughly half this country wants to vote in one way or another it just comes across as histrionic and inexperienced.
