"Bigot-Baiting" by R.R. Reno

[fifth_column]

Excellent article:  http://www.firstthings.com/article/2016/08/bigot-baiting

I haven't finished it yet.  So far I'm finding it thought-provoking.  It successfully explains how the left maintains victimhood status while simultaneously gathering power. 

Opening paragraph:

I can’t imagine a policy more irrelevant to the problems facing our society than bathroom privileges for transgender students. The bottom half of American society is collapsing. Voters are revolting against establishment candidates, casting doubt on the economic and cultural consensus that has predominated over the last generation. And the Obama administration presses for transgender rights? This is amazing, but not surprising given the history of post-sixties liberalism.
