it's the ones who are not the most overtly monstrous or redneck idiots you need to watch out for, who'll work behind the scenes to do things like put christian fundamentalists on the supreme court.
A more productive thing to do is to look at why they still exist, what they do better than progressives (i.e. they build enduring societies, something that is not at all obvious progressivism does because of, for example, the extremely low birthrate in progressive societies). And figure out ways to improve progressivism from what these other societies are doing.
