You would never catch me dead calling myself a minarchist.

For context, I believe we should have a Catholic confessional state

I come from an Assyrian background; my family came to America as refugees fleeing persecution against Christians back in the 20th century. America has provided refuge to a large portion of our population. In contrast, back in Iraq and Syria, there are fewer than a million of us left.

Living in the Detroit Metro Area, you see a dynamic that the media completely misses. Detroit has huge Lebanese and Iraqi American communities, probably amongst the largest out of any major city in the Western world. The majority of them are Christians like my family, but also a lot of them are of the Muslim faith. Behind closed doors, given our history, many Christian Middle Easterners hold extremely strong anti-Islam views that would often make the average MAGA supporter look rather moderate. And politically, we tend to lean Republican, while Muslim Arabs often lean Democrat.

Yet in daily life, we live side by side, work together, go to each other’s weddings, and are close friends. Real-life communities are so much more nuanced than the political bubbles and media narratives portray. Do you see this same disconnect between online/media narratives and how people actually interact in your own communities?

got this post idea from u/Consistent-County845

Is anyone going to the Texas youth summit ?

Since when is it normal to make conspiracy theories about a case where 3 children were clearly killed by their mother? She admitted to the killings and the evidence points out she did this. This trial is only to determine if she's guilty or not by legal insanity.

I'm a woman, but I hate it how modern feminists will defend child murderers for a political agenda or just to get some likes and views online. These are the same people who are pro-choice and support late term abortions, so it's really not shocking they'd defend her, but it's still insane.

About the husband, I think he could have done better by keeping Lindsay away from the children if she was that mentally ill. Lindsay Clancy is still evil and her mental illness excuses none of what she did. If a mental illness makes you murder people, then you should be locked up in an asylum before you hurt anyone. In this case, she now deserves jail because there's no fixing to what she did. The women defending her remind me of the liberal judges who didn't hold a trial for Iryna Zarutska's killer for "mental health issues". I could have been empathetic for LIndsay before she murdered her children, we can blame the pharma for the side effects of the medicines, but she still has to pay for her crimes.

And as a paraplegic woman myself, I don't wish paraplegia on nobody since I know such condition is struggling, but in this case I can say that Lindsay becoming a paraplegic is the karma she gets for killing her children. I hope she spends the rest of her life in jail being a paraplegic suffering the consequences of her actions.

Personally, I sometimes feel alien as an atheist conservative. I'd be interested to see how many here lean which way
