We have reached the point where the interests of the Right and the Left now completely coincide, but for different reasons.
The Left, believing its Revolution is at hand, seeks to push rapid and shocking cultural change. The Right now seeks to encourage them and to accelerate.
Conservatism as we knew it---the effort to slow down the progress of Progressivism--is now utterly dead.
Most Leftists do not yet realize the extent to which the Right is happy to help them push their ideological to its logical, disastrous conclusions.
If they realized this, they might seek to slow down the pace, and thus become conservatives themselves, but most cannot help themselves.
The lure of achieving long-sought goals of overturning the "dominant" culture is too great a temptation. The Left is inherently self-destructive in this way.
The Left believes its ace-in-the-hole is the demographic replacement of white populations in America and Europe by peoples from the Third World.
The Right believes its ace-in-the-hole is the inevitable backlash of a young (mostly white) generation that will feel cheated out of its culture destroyed by the Left.
The Left has already opened the door in a big way to a return to traditionalism by its advocacy of the acceptance of regressive Islam in the West.
Their embrace of Islam even feels like the capitulation of little children to the need for a parental crackdown against their self-destructive rebellion.
e.g. the fantasy of The Handmaid's Tale, now back on television, has the air of secret Leftist longing for a return to an imagined past of hard and definite rules.
The Right is happy to be called Nazis. They are looking forward to the day when every single white person is slapped with this label.
Each call by a Leftist to "punch them out" is a small victory for the Right in the culture war. They are eager for the Left to implement actual violence.
They are gleeful at the takeover of universities by the thought police of the Left, knowing that incoming classes will become their new foot soldiers.
They savor reports of the latest Leftist campus outrages, such as the one at Georgetown declaring criticism of shariah law to be hate speech.
In an ideal situation, the Academia would go totally berserk and turn all universities in Leftist dystopias to the point of show trials like China in 1966.
The Right knows that middle schools across the U.S. and America are teeming with discontented young men being shamed for not wanting to date a transgender with a penis.
Ironically Trump is the middle ground, as close as possible to a center of politics. But the Left cannot abide him so they waste their energy on him while missing the greater fight.
They believe Alinsky tactics are their own property, and thus cannot fathom that the script has been flipped on them in a big way.
