What?

So while you might not want to campaign alongside a Reform voter on refugee policy you might find you agree with them on pushing for greater regulation of social media. You may disagree with an evangelical Christian on trans rights, but share the same views on foreign aid.

I fucking swear that if one more twerp posts that Legolas/Gimli meme in response to OP's suggestion I will do one of those screams that paralyse everybody in the vicinity.

Maybe agree with Mussolini on train punctuality..?

Except the Reform voter's legislation around social media is going to look a hell of a lot different than what I want - and a Christian evangelical is going to want a foreign aid approach completely alien to what I want.

I'm guessing that foreign aid is not going to include a lot of women's health.

Basic research shows that American Christian fundamentalist groups fund legislation against LGBTQI+ and women’s reproductive rights in Africa, indicating that it is impossible for LGBTQI+ people to find common ground with them.

Plus even if you could find one of these unicorns, can you imagine a pro foreign aid, anti trans evangelical who could go even 15 minutes without dragging their anti-trans views into the foreign aid discussion? They can't tell you what they had for breakfast without yelling about genders

"None of this aid is going to [slurs] is it?" Within minutes

The sensible adult position, of course, being to smile tightly and say 'oh of course not' and not 'shut the fuck up you weird little freak'
