The problem with framing this “culture war” narrative solely as something like “triggered college liberals” or whatever is that it completely ignores all the culture wars that the right continually engages in. Chief among them are abortion, prayer in schools, choice of transportation (“rolling coal”), gay frogs, etc.

Unless or until you acknowledge that this concatenation of disparate items into cohesive “cultures” is not unique to “the left”, this will only possibly be read as tone-deaf, disingenuous prattle. Conservatives, and the right in general, do not have unilateral authority to set norms and expectations for others. To say otherwise is to give into authoritarian impulses.

Beyond that, this reads less like a genuine inquiry, and more like kettle logic. It seems to me that you are simply throwing disconnected examples against the wall and hoping some of them stick, or making assumptions that all, or even most of “the left” is some sort of homogenous entity that unilaterally approves of the things you listed.

Also, the gay agenda has several items. Run to the store, get bread and milk. Mow the lawn, tend to the plants.
