I wonder if the squid-humper can even?
Please says yes.

That at the end of the day, the LGBT community will be thrown under the bus by the progressive movement for a number of reasons, basically deference to Blank Slate ideals and cultural stances of ethnic minorities. Not that I think that the Christian Evangelical movement will be receptive to working with them, which is really concerning as I think they'll largely end up on the outside looking in, at least in the short term.
I actually hope I'm wrong on this, because it would suck for a lot of people. But I think it's reasonable to be concerned about it.
I think that the progressives are screwed anyway. Ethnic minorities will likely diversify more and more socially and economically as time passes and they're less and less of a minority and they'll no longer to be viable as a reliable block of voters. Many of them, especially very socially conservative Hispanic and middle class/conservative working class blacks will no longer side with the progressives unless the progressive
completely retool their agenda. Even just a 10-15% drop in the Democrat minority vote leaves the Democrats' hopes for a presidency pretty much dead in the water.
If I had to go tinfoil hat myself I actually think that what could happen is that Trump is actually the beginning of the post-racial era in US politics, as absurd as it might appear now. If he's able not to go all authoritarian people will see that he was nowhere close to the spawn of Hitler and Satan that the press would have you believe, and later Republican candidates can actually address social issues without worrying about the left playing the race card. The Left can also retool itself by reducing the power of the SJWs anfar d so the Democrat/Republican divide would become centered around income, education, science, religion,etc rather than around race relations.
I think that people everywhere are getting tired of the scaremongering and of the manufactured and exaggerated outrages. I'm feeling optimistic, I've seen many admit thing that would have triggered the fainting couch brigade before the election ith less backlash.
