Social activists are always pushing the boundaries, seeing what more they can get away with today than they did yesterday. This is "progress" if you can dignify bullying with that word. So long as they are in the minority it's annoying but harmless enough.

But when they have achieved uncontested control over the state as they have in California, it isn't a case of testing the boundaries anymore, there aren't any but the constitution that is easily disregarded, the sky's the limit. Speech control isn't actually thought control despite a century of academic pretension, but it can be good enough if it's backed by monopolized, sanctioned violence. Polls such as this one become irrelevant. If anyone imagines that the Kali legislature is listening to it, they're smoking crack.
