I’m not going to make it a secret that I’d rather see El-Sayed represent my state in the US Senate than Stevens, but I’m also not going to pretend there aren’t multiple factors affecting a primary vote, and people can think differently without being evil. However, I think we should all be *honest*.

What does “publicly acceptable” here mean? 77 million Americans voted for a President who is racist on a number of axes, sexist, transphobic, xenophobic, ableist, antisemitic, and, yes, Islamophobic, and has successfully built public policy around this bigotry.
greatgrapeapeIslamophobia is the single publicly acceptable group hatred to express in America, and has been since 9/11. Pols, pundits, podcasters, and other public figures can safely express Islamophobic sentiments without any fear of significant blowback because many people agree with them. Sickening.
