Could do with links to the sources used. Other than that quite well argued, gives me some ammunition.

The first liberal was named Lucifer.
2017
Abortion was somewhat legal in all 50 states. Gay people could still expect nice cakes. Ruth Bader Ginsburg had only had pancreatic cancer for 8 years.
It was a dark time. Reassurance was needed.
Showtime
The Unholy Trinity is performative. It is virtue signalling. It sits safely in the pocket, telling you how clever you are to be in on Walsh’s, uhhhhhhhhhhh, “jokes”:
As a side note, any man who has gone shopping for pants recently is deeply aware of our collective slide into androgyny.
Walsh’s trinitarian strawman is formed from abortion, gay rights and transgenderism. And… …we don’t need to argue the details. Walsh writes that slaveholding society could contribute enormously to the general enlightenment of mankind, but abortion does not allow its proponents to otherwise maintain their moral reasoning. Homosexuality is a perversion and transgenderism is… …let's not give Walsh any more oxygen. None of the actual points matter because it comes back to a theocratic position, for the origin of our own identity is found in God.
Walsh’s conception of a particularly ugly divinity is his crutch because he struggles to make arguable points. Walsh plays lame word games:
Death will one day claim us, not the other way round.
…or (during a side rant against euthanasia), declares that the minutes that the terminally ill live in pain mean more to them than any lived in health and prosperity. Unless Walsh intends to directly experience terminal illness any time soon, I’m going to discount his speculation.
Walsh holds that rape isn’t an exception to abortion, because the former has no bearing on the later, and as for the risk of life to the mother, let me know when you find it in the book. Walsh has a position that does not even play well in a state that Trump won by over a dozen points. Walsh’s performance is for an audience that funds his business, and little else.
The Unholy Trinity is a demonstration of the pointlessness of discussion. Walsh isn’t serious, or informed, or even Christian really. St Peter isn’t going to wait by the pearly gates and tell Walsh it really owned when he wrote Zac Efron and Justin Bieber aren’t manly like how Frank Sinatra and Clint Eastwood were. Walsh’s references are performance artists, because it’s all this book is – performative.
Those Furries are making Matt Walsh Gay
Walsh tries so hard in The Unholy Trinity to be the bestest theocratic virtue signaller in the whole wide world. His daughter is unhappy she got a smaller apple than her brother? Tough shit sunshine, Nothing is equal and nobody is equal. Very cool and right to encourage your children to carry a grudge over the most minor of slights, wonder what connection that has with your observation that children are insane by nature? I’m sure it’s nothing.
There’s photographs and videos of furries humping, you say? Wow, thanks for letting us know, hadn’t really dwelled on it, but I’m sure it’s vital to tangentially link furries to homosexuality over a multi-paragraph “discourse”. Suggest you delete your search history on that one, Matt.
Walsh has thoughts on gender equality in the Victorian era, particularly how in many instances, it would be an improvement over the current one. Walsh is willing to virtue signal transphobia in front of those obliged to listen politely, how about showing some actual balls and heading to the nearest office to tell half the staff to go back to the kitchen?
Walsh is willing to provide guidance and instruction, such as how the birth control pill is quite bad. It’s a real zinger to point out that being on the pill is like being pregnant and that:
I can attest that pregnancy can be, at times – and I say this cautiously – a rather emotionally tumultuous time for a lady.
Imagine writing that you’re putting it politely when you say your wife was bit crazy while carrying your children. The disrespect Walsh must have to use her as a stalking horse for an alleged 3% divorce rate of natural birth control users. He values her dignity as equivalent to a statistic with a lifespan of the time taken to click on the first result of a Google search. I’m starting to feel less certainty about how it’s the children who are insane by nature.
Walsh, to an extent that is deliberately undetermined and amorphous, is “trolling”, “playing the provocateur” or “exaggerating for effect”. But that’s the whole point. He is virtue signaling, while not standing on the substance of those “virtues”. When Walsh writes:
What we call "liberalism" in public discourse today is really just the worship of self.
…it is the cheapest performance of them all – projecting his own vices onto those he hates.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing! This book should be required reading in every church, and then it needs to be required reading for everyone else. If you think there ISN'T an assault on life, marriage, and gender, then I challenge you to read this and see for yourself. May it lift the scales from your eyes.
