Given that social conservatives are a minority that the state is often quite hostile to, I think social conservatives would be wise to be sceptical of giving the state the power to barge into people's private life and impose 'the common good'. https://twitter.com/Vermeullarmine/status/1266181494885814274 …

The winning argument for social conservatives is "live and let live". If you want to have a contest for who gets to use the state to impose their values upon society you will lose and lose badly.

Yup, the "live and let live" period has been over for awhile. Over the past 100 years, we have constructed a vast technocratic state that has attempted to manage human life through the principles of the social sciences—not the principles of the constitutional.

Professor Marini refers to it, convincingly in my view, of a revolution in regime. To get back to "live and let live" would require a change of regime of the same magnitude—in essence, a refounding of the United States.
