Europe is the canary in the coal mine. Any problems due to this will pop up there long before they pop up here.
They’ve disarmed themselves. We haven’t. And won’t. I would expect that if they start coming apart as liberal, secular democracies things in this country will get really ugly really fast.
All of which reminds me of these wise words:
"...At what exact point, then, should one resist the communists?..."
"How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: what would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good‑bye to his family?
"Or if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand...the Organs (police) would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers...and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt."
