There's going to be a lot of civil disobedience and a lot of hatred between polar opposites. Hopefully, the younger generation will wear out the old white male conservatives, who hopefully will die off soon enough. But who knows? Maybe it will be too late for the inhabitable earth and human extinction will become a commonplace fear which will drain the energy out of the religious bigots.

@AnonySchmoose Part of me feels a tiny bit sorry for all the vicious thugs that seek to impose their fears and prejudices on everybody else. The other part of me wishes that they would all just shut the fuck up.

Well, yes ... one can compassionately forgive them but must never forgive the harm they've done.
