Its not political, its financial. The whole genesis block talked about the banks being bailed out, exactly what is happening today! When politics are involved this is when you get mixed messages. Everything political today is now "fake news" news has been bought out, you can't buy out bitcoin though! Bitcoin is everything but political its a system designed to take politics out of the money picture, bitcoin is just pure potential IMO!

It definitely is political, but let me explain.
There are fractions within every government that don't care about bitcoin at all, but there are also those who are for or against it and make their stance public every time they're asked (or not).
Some good examples from the US are Elizabeth Warren and Warren Davidson, you can look them up online along with their opinions about bitcoin.

As time goes by, holding bitcoin will not only influence your voting, but it will become voting. If you decide to invest a lot of money into bitcoin, you will want to support politicians who try to make your life easier. As a politician, you will have to be aware that openly criticizing bitcoin will make you lose votes of people who hold it. The more bitcoiners there are the more votes you will be losing... or gaining, depending on your stance.
