That’s interesting and worth pursuing, but I don’t know that most progressives have misconstrued the threats on their liberty in quite the same way the traditionalists have. Traditionalism inherently requires the restriction of vital rights on racial, religious, and sexual minorities. If you believe those rights are worth protecting, then right now is a very delicate and historic moment.

We should be careful not to paint every step trod by Trump as a boot stomping on a human face. However, the current wave of Traditionalism the world over poses an extremely dangerous risk to the expansion of human liberties.
