I understand that but it was about the only real problem that I had with what he was saying. It seems unlikely that the left will take his warning seriously and that will create problems for them in the future.
Sad part is they will be undoing their own work which will not benefit future generations to come.
Survival will push nominally left groups over to the right as appears to be happening with the gay crowd. They are now arming up because they figured out the left won't save them. Steven Crowder pointed out that the left created Milo in the full video where that clip came from. There are going to be many groups that decide they would rather have the religious right simply because they can survive that.
Concerns for survival will cause people to recognize the necessity for law and order with law enforcement even-handed in its responsiveness to people. Such a group as Black Lives Matter does not want a free-for-all for crime; it simply wants cops to become less trigger-happy with black suspects.
The Religious Right is anti-intellectual to the extent that it offers education suitable only for low-paid, drudge work that will keep minorities as second-class citizens. It tolerates little difference in culture, so if my musical tastes are more typical of a Czech than of an American, I will be in trouble. With an effort to impose its religion upon people of different traditions, it might cause such a phenomenon as the revival of Jewish communities that have not existed in some places for over seventy years. They might even have a linguistic resemblance; after all, standard English is related to the Yiddish once spoken in such communities. Like Yiddish, English can be written in Hebrew letters, so to a Pole or a Hungarian, Judeo-English might even look like Yiddish.
Not so long ago, "Religious Right" meant conventional Protestantism aligned with right-wing economics. It needed freedom of religion to propagate itself. That implied Jerry Falwell, D. James Kennedy, and Oral Roberts. Once in power it might try to compel Americans to go its way, emigrate, or die. Give it the powers of the Spanish Inquisition, and people who teach something so un-Biblical as evolution might have to account to the authorities who offer the choice of "Believe it or burn". You may find it hard to believe, but the Inquisition held that it was doing the most humane thing possible in converting Jews and Muslims and correcting witches and heretics because such misguided people would have been headed to Hell. Even burning at the stake was presented as preparation for the doomed heretic, sorcerer, or reverting convert for what awaited him in Hell. If someone recanted while dyi9ng -- well, the flames of Earthly Hell did their duty and saved the souls of the killed.
The fanatic is the menace of both progress and human decency. The sinner is often the vital innovator.
