I'm not concerned at all. Once the right's core starts to correlate their skyrocketing cancer rates, death-sentence medical costs, slave wages, and total lack of upwards mobility with the trickle-down economics scam their overlords have been pushing for decades, they will have bigger fish to fry than what bathroom transgenders are allowed to use.
You have to remember that most of the 'flash points' where there are clashes between right and left wing are either meaningless (fly over Jesus-people cities) or in areas where the right wing is intentionally provoking entrenched radical leftism (Berkeley so on). Domestic terrorists can raise all the hell they want in either of those arenas, none of that's really going to impact my ability to get a pizza delivered.
And lest we forget, the left and the right dont really need each other. The right wing isnt going to suffer terribly if the left stops letting it into furry conventions, so long as they dont mind living in squalor or working in subzero temperatures in transient oil rig camps. And the left isnt going to suffer terribly if the right's novelty pickup truck testicles export flow is interrupted, so long as they dont mind getting paid low 6 figures with full medical benefits writing AI to run the robots that will eventually take the right's jobs.
That free market is a bitch aint it.
And lest we forget, all these cities going green and augmenting their grid energy with literally wave, wind, and solar power? Yeah those are all 'left wing' initiatives and they only serve to further undercut the pillars of the right wing; the fossil fuel industries. Gonna be hard to spin it as a left wing attack on family values when there are literally zero buyers for oil and coal.
