Except that Orthodox Christianity is its own religious tradition completely separate from some notion of religious “orthodoxy” and completely different from whatever evangelicals y’all know in Iowa or whatever

To a neo-fascist “conservative”, the Rojavans/SDF/Kurds are probably worse than ISIS*. The slogan of Rojava is “there is no revolution without women”. They are in many ways more progressive, egalitarian and secular than any western nation. Their existence proves that the patriarchal, autocratic and capitalistic…

People who convert from secularism to religious orthodoxy are among the most aggressively conservative people out there.

They’re for real starting a cult here people.

I hate to sound cynical, but I suspect she’s only endorsing him too secure her credibility. She is smart, and far more practical and politically savvy than most people give her credit.

A lot of times she’ll tell me “I don’t get this” and trying to get her to understand can be frustrating, but it’s absolutely worth it.

I really, really, really don’t like Clinton. That said...

I don’t read it as particularly accusatory. The only thing that could make the tone clearer is specifically mentioning they were friends, but the headline is already pretty long and referring to her simply as his “trans friend” that could read as sarcastic while further diminishing her presence in the story of her own…
