i really do think the right is responding to a real, genuine sense of threat coming from the left. i spent my early part of my career writing about these religious liberty controversies. I did a big investigation for america magazine about the obama administration targeting catholic hospitals. They were trying to destroy catholic hospitals or force them to forfeit their catholic character. That, to me, is not a small threat. So when people on the right say they feel under threat, i don't thinkt they're that that's they're entirely in their minds.
