I'm not sure who your post was directed at so can't say with any certainty why the poster to whom your post was addressed expressed political views or what those views are but generally I can say that if the post was regarding discrimination or marginalisation of people with ADHD then I'm afraid that some people who have avoided politics in the past (each to their own) may find there are now some countries in which making the choice to avoid politics carries with it the acceptance of discrimination, marginalisation, "otherisation", subjugation, injustice and, in the extreme, violence against people who live with a disability. Most people get political at some point when they find themselves in the firing line of discriminatory practices.

Quilter470 was apparently replying to ChaosDad’s post below, about the #HandsOff protests on 4/5. She didn’t use the Reply button so it was confusing.

Thanks, I hadn't seen ChaosDad's post.

If this post was meant to be a reply to a specific post, you need to use the “Reply” button instead of creating a new post, which confuses everyone.

PS the posts about the Trump Administration’s recent actions are not “inappropriate” because of the reasons clearly stated in those posts - they affect people who have disabilities like ADHD and anyone who uses prescription medication. Go back and read those posts if you don’t understand why they are absolutely appropriate to this forum - one of them mentions the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). The political is personal. Politics affects EVERYTHING, especially now.
