The thing is, what a politically engaged person thinks of as "politics" and what a disengaged one does probably has limited overlap. People probably aren't bringing the Tories or the Republicans up in a D&D community, but bring up race portrayal or representation for disabled people and watch the sparks fly.

It's also clear that people who deny the extent to which capitalism actually makes the world worse either a) don't know what capitalism is, or b) are rent seekers

Also that -- thanks in large part to movements like the Arab Spring using Twitter to organize and publicize -- it became the go-to social media for reporters. The news -> celebrity -> news cycle closes itself nicely there, making it very difficult for either group to go anywhere else.

Yeah, it's totally understandable that they'd want to do D&D if they've recently sunk money into the books.

That said, not only are the rules free online, but there are a lot of very good (and free) tools built on top of those free rules that are worth checking out, even if just to see what could be. Pathbuilder (web and Android) and Wanderer's Guide are two well liked digital character sheets. The Goblin's Cauldron is another currently in early development, that looks like it's going to be a great addition, too.

On the GM side of things, there lots of free online tools that really help GMs out:

There are several good encounter builders:

PF2Easy has a collections of ready-made and customizable reference sheets .

The creature creation rules have been used to create a creature creation tool.

Loot Dragon has a searchable and filterable list of items, as well as a random selection feature.

I lay all of this out just so you have some idea as to what could have been, in terms of support, in D&D, and also for reference for when the time comes that your group decides to actually give the system a view.
