Exactly on the parts with the Bible side- and that's the same as most problems with the world today (not just in this instance, but in pretty much all sides of politics or things made political):

Instead of the scientific method of "start with a theory and testing it to find the conclusion that is right", people start with the conclusion that they want to hear is right, and then work backwards until they find proof they were right all along. It's not even just the woke, it's the same on the opposite side too (witness people who can see the proof in COVID, and will ignore all the studies and facts on one side- but when they're on a random mommy blog (which also said the same proof as was originally made)...but one comment by an MLM hun trying to lure new people in talked about how COVID could be cured by simply using essential oils...but only the essential oils from her company, and honestly the oils from her company won't even work as well unless you buy them specifically from her or her downline....well? They have all the proof they need! The research panned out, scientific proof they were right all along!

As far as the other side, the answer is how many people have arrested development in the world right now. Whatever the reason [still needing to be dependent older due to how it's nigh-impossible to get on your feet, the generations being poorer than their parents and having no real hope of changing that], people aren't getting that moment where life kicks them in the ass and tells them that it's impossible, and they can't be that thing.

Hell, the fact that the job market sucks may even lead to more of this as well: If you know "you can have a good, stable job, have a family, and live a normal life, and that's fine if you didn't get to live your dream" or "you have your big dream and the thing you want to be when you grow up", eventually people will give up on the latter when it becomes impossible in favor of the former. But what happens when "a normal life" is just as much of a fantasy as that "fantasy dream job you have"...and with many of the people trans ideology is getting like autistic people, even "a shitty life" is somehow ALSO as big a fantasy as "that one fantasy you have"...well, the more and more normal or even shitty lives become fantasy, the more and more people will decide "well, both of these are just a fantasy, I'm going after my real dream in life and if I die trying, at least I'll know I tried." If the blind kid may have it be impossible to be a bus driver, but a normal job or life is just as impossible- best to keep hoping and hope that self-driving technology will improve enough so a blind kid could be a bus driver on "you just sit in the seat and it drives itself". If the boy who wants to be a mother sees it impossible, but "you just find a woman and you become the father" is equally impossible, you see them keep fighting for "If I don't get to have a girlfriend, I'll BECOME the girlfriend" and then be a stepmother to someone's kids.
