the government has bought into and invested deeply into so many things that
are "civilization destroying" and can't be walked back
that there is no other result possible than collapse.
It is like 2+2=4.
Abortion, pedofila, transgenderism, diversity of culture, diverse language, open borders, absense of equal distribution of law, incarceration of people without due process, accumulation of debt, obscene levels of entitlements . . .
It is like math. When you add all of these things up, there is no escape from the outcome.
An attempt was made to turn back the tide. It was defeated.
