Public opinion of many of these things has not changed at all....that is bullshit. What has changed is the reaction to folks who disapprove of anything the progressives demand.
You get shot. You get called a racist or bigot. You get censored. You get marginalized and bullied.
Things have not changed nearly as much as the writer thinks it has......the election of Trump proves as much.
They wonder why they got Trump.
They are why they got Trump.

It's a blessing we're up against people who only own an ideological hammer... to them the world's always a nail. And we will go on winning...
—”Even moderates and conservatives who may agree with progressives on social issues like gay marriage and racism are resistant to the left’s apparent self-righteousness and the hyperbolic emotionalism with which their ideas are pushed. They observe the left’s unwillingness to engage in intellectual dialogue, their ceaseless patronization of opposing views and their growing distaste for America, and they recoil.”-—
Bingo. For example, I couldn’t care less about same-sex marriage, and Trump NEVER even talks about it. But when I look at SJW socialist insanity, I’m more convinced than ever that Trump’s political enemies are much more dangerous than the Left pretends that Trump is.
That’s another thing they don’t “get”.
Pointless discussion.
Homosexual countries are third world countries.
Unless there is a Christian revival, America will become a third world country.
NEVER ARGUE WITH A STUPID PERSON, THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE
What Democrats Still Don’t Get
USC?
American spirit?
Work Ethics?
Merit system?
History?
Science?
Honesty?
Logic?
Even conservatives who are against racism...
Like most opinion pieces that deal with it, this one operates from the incorrect assumption that racism is a problem on the right. 95% of the conservatives I know do not care about race at all and have no problem with any good person of any color.
Race is primarily a liberal obsession, who are more fixated on it and it's impact on every aspect of our society than any political group since WWII Germany.
17 years ago muslims killed 3000 Americans to promote islamic sharia law.
Now the left openly embraces them.
My concern is not "white fragility."
My concern is that the people who obsess on gender and sexual identity are not those who focus on saving today for retirement tomorrow, like I did.
The "progressive revolution's" focus on whites is really going to be a focus on the amassed savings of whites that tomorrow's progressive social justice warriors will see as a hoarded unfair share.
Progressive grasshoppers will be coming after the ants' savings, once they're done demonizing the ants to the rest of the SJW grasshoppers.

We who voted for Trump see very clearly that young people and the cultural revision is exchanging the truth for a lie
“It seems that most on the left agree with Obama’s view. Progressives purport that enthusiasm for Trump is bolstered by “white fragility”— an insecurity that white voices, once dominant, are now being drowned out by increasingly influential minority groups bolstered by demographic changes. “
I see... Blacks and Hispanics defending their interests and bashing whites night and day is heralded as pride in their communities and social justice.
Whites wanting to protect their interests and defend themselves from the constant racist attacks and demonization is “white fragility”.
If we’re going to play the identity politics game it’s about time whites get in it with everything we got, or else we’ll soon be like the whites in South Africa.
Don’t let them guilt you, shame you, or distract you from defending our common interests - which at the end of the day is survival itself.
“Progressives purport that enthusiasm for Trump is bolstered by “white fragility”— an insecurity that white voices, once dominant, are now being drowned out by increasingly influential minority groups bolstered by demographic changes.”
The commies have been pushing this racial narrative since the 1970s. Back then, they claimed whites would be a minority by the year 2000. Wellllll, guess what happened, the rats aborted all their minority pet blacks after Roe v Wade.
Oops.
So, let’s pump up the hispanic population to make whites a minority. That didn’t work either because hispanic birth rates leveled out in 2007 and haven’t grown.
Oops.
So the only way to make whites a minority is to import millions of alien invaders from sh*thole countries.
Whites still make up 70% of the population, and Trump is closing the gates on the alien invaders. The final chapter is being written, and there’s a whole bunch of ways it could go.
