This is the 21st-Century form of Democracy.
Rapidly falling cost of mass communication via computer networks causes Liberalism’s realities and consequences to become impossible for a complicit MSM to hide.
This causes liberal leaders and elites to become unpopular with the their own people, who formerly voted to keep them in power.
Seeing what the future holds, the elites hit upon a new strategy: build popularity among uneducated populations in other countries.
Then declare these populations to be welcome as “refugees,” enticing them with promises of free food, housing, and young women.
Boom! In less than a single generation, you swing the demographics of your country away from your native people, putting them in the minority. Lots of new voters to keep you in power.
Until, of course, the immigrants start voting their own representatives into power, who will have no use for you.
But that’s down the road a few years, and who has time to worry about that, right? Virtue-signaling your way to victory in the next election is as far as your time horizon extends.

You are right about their time horizon limiting their scope of vision. Europe’s biggest players are all childless. Angela Merkel, Teresa May, and Emmanuel Macron are all childless. Don’t tell me that doesn’t affect and reflect their priorities.
Taking a lesson from the method that turned California from reliably red to third-world blue in a generation.
