Transgender Rights goes "too far"? "Anti-Trans" movement in response.
The disenfranchisement of the far right wackjobs is palpable right now, and there will be a rise of (and already has been a rise of) socially regressive demagoguery going forward.

The US is, I believe, one of very few western jurisdictions where religious fervor is on an upswing. Canada is far more grounded overall, so while there will certainly be groups and individuals seeking to move the discussion that way, I think their power and voice will be limited. If anything, we're more at risk of hard left whackjobs taking control of the narrative.
