For whatever reason, in 2017, absolutely EVERYTHING is about politics.

The complete politicization of every aspect of our day-to-day life has never been more apparent than with a Boston Globe piece tying Donald Trump to this month’s solar eclipse.

Incredibly, the Globe tracked the event’s route and compared it with counties that voted for the Republican president, finding few blue spots on the map. Does this make the eclipse a right-wing plot?

Generating social media bafflement, the paper highlighted the results on Twitter:

The path of viewing spots for this month’s solar eclipse cuts overwhelmingly through places that voted for Trump. https://t.co/uymDqqKAsO pic.twitter.com/1yoUuN0Wp5 — The Boston Globe (@BostonGlobe) August 1, 2017

Who thought this was a good idea? What is the point?
