Not to say that there aren't some rogues on the Left...
Donald Trump is a consequence of cultural wars in which identity matters more than do competence and service, in which much of what passes as morality for one side is a semi-feudal attitude that 95% of the people exist solely to make people already filthy-rich even more filthy-rich, in which faith in the absurd is a test of moral propriety, and in which the most amoral right-wing authoritarian types moralize loudest.
On the Right, too...
I have seen some headlines about state legislatures sneaking Culture Wars laws into coronavirus relief bills. That would make an interesting new thread.
