Inverse Bigotry
While I don't, in principle, object to politicians respectfully adopting traditions for the sake of their audience, there is something especially bizarre about AOC, a truly radical feminist, wearing a hijab to speak in front of a crowd that appears to be exclusively male, and largely uninterested in what she has to say.
She has unconsciously adopted the traditions of a culture that respects women even less than the one portrayed in The Handmaid's Tale—you know, that horror that Donald Trump is supposedly bringing about in the United States with the help of the docile women who surround him and the openly gay men in prominent administration positions.
All the men around her, with the exception of Mamdani himself, are dressed like the Afghan Taliban, so obviously rejecting the Western society that has welcomed them. AOC spends an inordinate amount of time condemning people who have no intention of oppressing women, but when given the chance, she embraces a crowd that is filled with people who do.
An all-male crowd, from the look of it, except for a woman who likely is either the mayor's or AOC's staffer.
One of the more bizarre things about leftists is their inverse bigotry regarding brown and black people. They so obviously expect them to behave like savages that they excuse behavior that they would never tolerate in white people. They spout out excuses, trot out claims of oppression, and claim that any bad behavior is caused by white oppression.
