They cannot accept an alternative to their system, simple as that.

Lmfao if either of the latter two were going to happen it would've happened already. (And Eurabia!? Lmfao! Lmfao! Lmfao!)

US Alt!Reichers promote 'Eurabia'.

But then, they consider a single black guy whose family has been in North America twice longer than their own to be an immigrant threat for their culture.

Repeat after me: Americans are offended by different skin colors.

Correction: Racist Americans.

So, pretty much all of them, the only difference being whether they are racist to shit on other ethnicities or to "protect" them.

White supremacy is still a thing (for the exact reason they'd rather be performative wokescolds, tankies or class reductionists bitching on twitter all day instead of do the real work)

The wokes are indeed just as racist as the rest.

"I'm not willing to reconcile on that basis. A return to the status quo isn't sufficient. These murderous tantrums aren't some new sickness. This is what underlay our white supremacist, misogynistic, homophobic society. It was possible to miss it so long as that social hierarchy was undisturbed and you were the right class and color and sex. But even a little pressure is enough to rupture the facade and let the putrescence flow out onto the surface.

Peace with these people is an unacceptable state of affairs. It would mean a return to a vicious, immoral status quo. There is no past worth returning to. If we want a better society, we have to make it happen. And that means the fascists will be our enemies until they are utterly defeated. "-Mesonoxia on SV
"The US is built, from the ground up, on murderous contempt for indigenous peoples, slavery, and imperialism. Where the actual, murderous, white supremacists have been in the political system has varied. For a very long time they were within the Democrats. Right now, they make up the majority of Republicans.

But that's just the dyed in the wool violent authoriatarian bigots. Both parties are willing to exploit the poor for the benefit of the wealthy. Both parties are happy to ignore Native rights and engage in imperialism abroad. the Democrats certainly have a large contingent of white supremacist, misogynistic, and homophobic voters and politicians.

I have no hopes for a legislative solution.

And the above is similar to many US Leftist sentiments on the internet.
So any bets on how this is will go down in the US? Balkanization? Or just Syrianization? My personal inner pessimist bets is on Syrianization, with one group winning in the end but the US ending up as an early-20th century tech-level continent-wide Somalia with a quarter of its original population and 100 million Americans as refugees worldwide. Of course, as a whole, I would love to live in a world where the US Left won a political-economic and cultural victory over the US right without firing a shot, but...
