The question is whether it’s political in the sense that your research makes you change your views, or that your views make you change your results.https://twitter.com/culanth/status/993111387126816768 …

It's the first one. That's a standard tenet of anthropology. The latter would get you ostracized.

If your research led you to conclude that social conservatives were right about some topic, you’d expect more ostracism for putting it in the file drawer than for publishing? Unexpected!

Of course! As long as the research is rigorous. But it's also important to understand that the definition of "political" in anthropology (and social science generally) is wider than just electoral politics/partisanism - it's referring to power dynamics in general.
