I disagree that federal politics shouldn’t regulate anything non-commercial. I would argue that its primary purpose should be to enshrined minimal standards for, among other things, things like civil liberties. Part of establishing and protecting civil libierties means regulating discrimination and disenfranchisement to AT LEAST a baseline of equality across every state.

Just about everything has been turned into a political issue in the last decade. Medicine (not Healthcare… modern medicines/drugs themselves), beer brands, avocados on toast, beef, eggs, children’s films/books (that’s not new, I guess, just hitting new levels recently), gas stoves, holidays, black pilots, etc.
