Because I think we need to talk about toxic ideologies. I have watched with curiosity for several years as a lot of Rachel’s problematic ideologies have gained popularity, and I think we are witnessing is the inevitable fallout.  It’s no surprise that someone who preaches that we don't need to apologize is not capable of . . .
