Gun control, LGBTQ rights, abortion, environmental justice and Black lives matter are just a few of the battles being fought in the ongoing culture wars. If you strip out the bystanders, it's basically Gen Z and the bulk of Milenniels on the progressive side and most of the baby boomers and what's left of the ''greatest'' generation representing those who think the 1950's was the apogee of American civilization.
In the case of the latter, it's mostly a rear guard action being fought in state legislatures around the country. Open carry, "don't say gay", anti environmental bills and voter suppression are the coin of the realm in these venues. But, increasingly the middle aged and older white men who control these assemblies are being called out for their policies by younger activists. It will get increasingly ugly before it gets better. But as the song says, "Change is gonna come".
