I don't agree that the right, religious or secular, has won the culture wars. Yes, they've won a few battles and control the Supreme Court right now, but I see a society that has steadily moved to the left culturally. I suspect this trend will continue as society becomes more secular and multicultural.
What creates a backlash that makes you question this victory is the fault of leftist interest groups that are never content with their victories. Rather than celebrating gay marriage, they championed unpopular issues like taxpayer paid sex change operations for prison inmates and the use of phrases like "pregnant people."
Oh... how i don't want to agree with Bob this time. But choking under the detritus of this right-wing culture war landslide, i can't deny the conclusion. I saw it coming when he basically said as much in the OTM 2016 post-mortem (passengers on the ship of fools).
We need Bob's voice now more than ever, but in an age where someone like Jimmy Kimmel is drummed out by the White House, well... i think our body politic may need a Spartacus defib shock, where every single member of the "fed-up" majority stands up and proclaims solidarity with Antifa.

Nailed it ... again.
Thank you for your ability to express clearly what I feel.
