Tulsi Gabbard was recently discussing this on a podcast.
Here’s my thinking. The separation we have is no longer red vs. blue. It’s Christian vs. non-Christian. That’s not to say everyone on either side is completely one thing. I know a lot of Catholics who somehow remain passionately Democrat. I have no idea how but they’re convinced that Republicans are Nazis and racists and anti-women. And some non-religious people are conservatives. But, in geneeral, the two sides of this split are religious vs. non-religious.
You can’t be a Christian and be pro-abortion or willing to chemically castrate children. You can’t be a Christian and say ALL white people are racist. You just can’t.
Either you believe that our rights come from God or you don’t. The left NEEDS rights not to be derived from our Creator because then they can be taken away.
And there’s one more thing. In order to move the world you need another world to stand on. Christians stand in another world. They can not be moved by worldly threats. They are the worst kind of opponent. So the fewer the Christians the easier it will be to steamroll the others.

I think it’s slightly more general than that. I think the real question is whether EVERYTHING is up for grabs and can be redefined by groups of people if they are special enough or clever enough or powerful enough or numerous enough. It’s about whether there is actually a Natural Law. It’s about whether any decisions are left to God alone regardless of our preferences.
That’s what the whole gay marriage and transgender thing is about. Those who surrender to it are broken and can be reprogrammed at will. That’s why it is pushed by people who are not tempted by those perversions: they are tempted by the prospect of control.
As Picard would say, “There are FOUR lights!”
