At least Ratcliffe didn’t go through the corrosive process which might have hurt him in the House. Small consolation there.
At some point, the Allies had to recognize that France was lost; but that didn't mean the war was over. Rather, it simply meant the theatre(s) would change, strategies would be altered, targeted re-evaluated and tactics revised.
If FR is going to allow a group of mystics to form a separate, stand alone and cordoned off protected zone, what about those thinking rationally about the long game? The one that addresses realities like population substitution, erosion of constitutional rights, and the corruption of justice and unequal treatment before the law?
When is it time to admit conservatives got played by Trump, who said all the right things, but at the end of the day was unwilling to either call out the militia and/or declare certain states/departments in rebellion? Without these kinds of calls to action, the deep state could leisurely employ every legal device at their disposal to not only avoid justice, but also to prosecute an attempted coup with no personal danger to themselves.
So, it's over - for now. But what then? That's what we should be discussing, perhaps generating a historical record for future reference.
