Has he always been a “sky-is-falling” sort or is covid-19 bringing it out of him?
Rod Dreher

Dreher is a very good writer with an interesting perspective. He has for quite some time been of the mind that contemporary American culture is increasingly hostile to religion and those who hold religious beliefs, and so it is not too far-fetched to say that he has a "sky is falling" orientation that has been in place long before the Covid-19 outbreak. I don't agree with all of the particulars of his writing, but he has some insightful things to say about American politics and society.

See, I actually think he’s right about that stuff.

And he thinks that contemporary America is literally like the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
You know -- the ones where schools and factories shut down, hundreds of thousands were killed, and temples and cultural sites were destroyed en masse.
So there's more than a little Chicken Little in Dreher.

Rod Dreher: unbreakable Eastern Orthodox faith, leaving in a tight knit community in an affordable part of the country, works from wherever he wants, has a great job, family, kids.
You: live in a cramped apartment that smells like 'ethnic' food, pay 50% of your salary in rent, watch netflix ever nigh alone, use dating apps, take SSRIs like candy.

If he's not a closeted h'm' then I'll become a Benedictine monk.
You can tell he's a mo just by looking at his photos.I don’t know if I’d go that far, but he’s got a soft and womanly demeanor.
Not to mention he's a thin, middle-aged man who takes vacations to continental Europe and once made his rural southern parents a bouillabaisse. In any case he takes the whole g-y marriage thing a little too personally. It's one thing to be a homophobe, it's another to make it your career to carp about g-ys being g-y.
