Rod Dreher thinks that the fecklessness of the 'tolerance' bunch--which happens to include a lot of mid/upper-class white folks--will push Trumpism over the top.
...middle-class male culture, at least white male culture, doesn’t know
how to nurture a healthy masculinity. The middle-class white American
church certainly doesn’t. Eventually, the provocations of Social Justice
Warriors, especially when they are race-based, is going to empower the
militant whites, especially those drawn to pagan masculinity, and they
are going to do what the rest of us would not do: Fight. This, because
the best — that is, those who want peace, civility, and tolerance — lack
all conviction to defend the conditions under which we can have those
things against their enemies.
Trump is a vulgar, crass, alpha-male brute. But he doesn’t care what
SJWs and liberals say about him. He fights, and sometimes fights as
dirty as they do. That’s not nothing. White liberal
middle-class society and many bourgeois conservatives have demonized
within themselves, collectively and individually, the instinct that
would have given them the strength to fight civilization’s enemies on
the Left and on the Right. It’s partly because of self-hating white
people...
He fears that this silent acquiescence will have serious, negative, consequences.
...without a forceful, effective, unambivalent response to the unhinged
militant left, sooner or later the forces of white supremacy are going
to organize the dispossessed, demoralized, chaotic white rabble, and the
SJWs, as well as the Washington elites, aren’t going to know what hit
them. God knows I’m not saying I want this to happen, but I think it
probably will happen if we continue on this current trajectory.
Slouching rough beasts and all that....
Dreher tends to be apocalyptic, but he's usually more correct than not. He DID--accurately--predict that SCOTUS would "authorize" queer marriage, about 2 years before those idiots did so. So we should take this seriously, and stop shilly-shallying around to be "polite" and "tolerant."
The sooner, the better.
By the way, this guy has similar thoughts.
