Yes, I think it's an accurate description for the Millennial consensus. I would add:
[*] No genetic modifications of human beings
[*]Religion accepted as part of private life, but not an influence in legislation
[*]Strong concern for global warming
[*]Rejection of radical feminism and radical masculism (incels, manosphere, etc.)
[*]Cohabitation without marriage seen as the norm, casual sex seen as a part of growing up
The millennial consensus will probably crack down on both right-wing opposition (Christian fundamentalists, libertarians, racists) and left-wing opposition (anti-porn radical feminists, true socialists), though the attacks on right-wing oppositions will be likely stronger.
During the 2T we will likely see resurgence of both puritanical Christianity and anti-technology socialism. High social freedom and digital technologies will be likely seen as one thing, a "digital Sodom" for the rightist sector of the Awakening and "decadent technocapitalism" for the leftist sector.
Should Millennials who disagree with the majority be separated and closed off in our own communities? I think that's the only answer. If the mainstream doesn't accept us, we need separatism and to close ourselves off.
