Why did this trigger the right so much

When did everyone become so politically militant?
I hate when people inject politics into other hobbies, and it's happening more and more often.
Believe it or not, some people don't have it so great. Between bills, family issues, social issues, work issues, and life in general, all they want is a break. A breather from the issues of the day.
People can't even get that anymore. You can't even watch a game of nigger ball anymore without someone putting their half assed opinion in it.
Why can't people just give politics a break for a few hours? Why is everyone so obsessed now?
