Tough titty, sweetheart.
Politics is going to affect you whether you try to affect it, or not.
You may not be interested in politicians, but whooa baby, they are interested in YOU!
- That money in your wallet could use an extra skimming off
- I'm sorry, did you have an opinion that the DNC doesn't approve of? It's not only necessary that you don't speak, it is necessary that you make a public affirmation of obedience
- Are you white, coz you know you're evil when you're white, right?
- Were you victimized by a member of a Favored Political Group? So sorry, grin and bear it
- Wait, you STILL have money in your wallet? We can't have that now, can we?
- Did you defend yourself against an attack made by a member of a Favored Political Group? Welcome to show business, Mister Show Trial!
Maybe, just maybe, you can bury your head in the sand...
See the Ostrich Effect or Normalcy Bias

Up to you, pal. I'm going to do all I can, but if you have been sticking your head in the sand until they go after you, and then come asking for help. I'm going to help somebody who has more potential to make my efforts worth it

I have my own version of this:
First they came for the socialists, and I said nothing because the socialists are just communists who haven't started shooting people yet
Then they came for the communists, and I said nothing because communists are vermin
They had better sense than to come for me, because I am an American, well-armed and belligerent in my view of liberty
