content warnings for #politics are not a thing I'm going to do? like, talking about politics is a big part of the reason I'm on social media, and I'm kind of iffy on the idea that people need to be protected in that way from civic discussions.

If you want content warnings for politics you should probably block me, I guess?

Yup, and people can also use filters. CWs for things that don't typically trigger normal people, as Karl Voit says, just dilute the whole CW system.
