repoliticizing
Making partisan again
Repoliticizing is restoring political significance to something that had been depoliticized or treated as neutral.
An issue that was once contentious, then settled into accepted practice, becomes contested again: Critics accused activists of repoliticizing the curriculum.
The term often carries a negative connotation, suggesting unnecessary conflict over matters better left alone.
