The Butkers speech also demonstrate that liberal / progressives are done pretending that they're OK with people having beliefs outside progressive dogma. As I understand it, this guy was a orthodox Catholic giving a speech to a group of orthodox Catholics. Nothing he said was outside Catholic moral teachings. He was preaching to the choir.

Reddit types like to pretend that the idea of religious persecution of Christians is laughable nonsense, but its been pretty common over the last couple of centuries if the social conditions were right: a revolutionary/reformist/progressive government taking a heavy hand into the running to a society.
