...”Progressives will never be satisfied until everyone believes the same way they do. The Catholic church’s two mellenia old tradition of marriage is of no consequence”...
I am more cynical than you are. I think Progressives are ultimately after getting societal acceptance of actual execution of those who think different than they do. Once they get rid of all of us, they will turn on each other. Of course, before that time, many of them will be gone from the war all of this is going to cause when their intolerance becomes unbearable for society. A look back in history shows the consequences of what happens when truth become lie and good becomes evil.
I agree there are those on the left that would encourage or condone violence to get what they want.
