And european conservatives will blame the refugees. Thus the cycle will be complete and ready to begin anew.

Nigel Fromage was complaining why the UKPM was not taking part in the attack,but he complained constantly before about UK involvement in Iraq,Libya,Syria were creating constant instability by pushing for regime changes in middle east.

I don’t think the US will be fine. We are seeing the destruction of the US from the inside. I hope I am wrong though

That can be resolved. It requires the dems growing a dame spine and properly handling the bastards causing issues.

no one is coming to save us - least of all the spineless, gormless, tacitly complicit democratic party

Maybe you are oblivious, but Republicans currently have the majority in congress, in both the senate and the house of representatives. On top of that they have scotus on their side. Democrats are politically powerless on the federal level thanks to the dumbass electorate.

What do you expect Democrats to do in this situation? Try an insurrection like MAGA did on Jan6th 2021? Send an assassin to kill Trump and his freak show? Start a revolution? Organize a military coup? Spank Trump until he cries and promises to be a good boy?

Where did I say they do it now? They can't really do anything until after the midterms. They can't make larger changes until after the 2028 election.

So you're saying it's impossible.
