I will give myself credit that one thing I got right was, many years ago, I predicted that American progressivism would pivot from justifying its positions based on “tolerance” (and notice how much less often you hear that word now), and pivot to justifying its positions based on “the science says”. Something like that had to happen, because the sort of tolerance-based-in-relativism many were trying to live within at the time is unsustainable. Under relativism, my objection to your claim is just as valid as your claim, which makes it difficult for you to “win”, and they definitely want to win.
