Exclamation Christian Persecution in the USA?

Everyday we're hearing more and more about the "Cancel Culture" and its affects in this country, in trying to root out the perceived deep-seated ills of society. But just questioning the "woke" ideas and methods of the day can get you quickly ostracized from many groups. And standing for some basic, conservative values will get you - at the least - looked at as being a backward Neanderthal of sorts. But also increasingly you may be labeled as a dangerous bigot and perhaps other serious reactions like even being unceremoniously dismissed from your job! Something then occurred to me as I considered all of these disturbing things and I had sort of a "duh" moment.

In light of this I wondered how long it might be before the "woke" culture starts to see more and more of these "evil" things as emanating from Christians. That is, how long is it until Christians are seen as a primary source of hindrance, who are holding society back from achieving some sort of Utopian ideal?

A few months ago it was difficult for me to imagine open persecutions of Christians taking place in this country. Now, that doesn't seem like much of a stretch to me . . .

Anyone else perceive this?
