Except a number of people have very specifically—and in bad faith—reframed social issues as political issues already, and we need to recognize that as a real aspect of the world we live in and not just a philosophical issue.
For example, there are a lot of people who become cops because they hold reactionary views on social issues. And there are a lot of people who hold reactionary views on social issues because of their political affiliation, rather than the other way around. It’s not good, but it is an aspect of the world we live in that should not be ignored, particularly because some people don’t have the privilege to ignore it.
