politicization
Turning issue political
Politicization is the process of making something political that wasn't before, or making it more political than it was.
Issues undergo politicization when they become associated with partisan positions: the politicization of vaccine policy, the politicization of the judiciary.
The term usually carries negative connotations—suggesting that something has been corrupted by political considerations that should be irrelevant to it.
