America, or more importantly, the idea that IS America will survive. Even if it is in the heart and mind of a freeman being persecuted by a tyrannical government. The Republic that was the physical manifestation of those ideas has in retrospect probably been on life support for a while. If the leftists and globalists manage to kick the power cord out at 12 noon, Jan 20, 2021, it will officially be dead. What comes after that is anybodies guess.
My hope is secession of many states from the USSA (formally known as the USA).
in the UK, Hitchens grapples with similar questions and, despite the headline, is absolutely scating about the Conservative Party:

The government, he argues, has embarked on the biggest and most expensive propaganda campaign in peacetime, to concince the British public to commit acts of enormous self harm that were wholly disproportionate and unjustifiable in relation to the severity of the pandemic...
He explains that much of the current “social justice” and culture war problems we see today originates in the Equalities Act of 2010, an Act brought in by the Labour Government but one which the Conservative Party — which by this point had become a Blairite Party led by the Blairite David Cameron — did little to oppose.
“If I were under 30 I’d have left (Britain) long ago”, Hitchens states. “I’ve never seen a country more finished — and I’ve seen some finished countries.” The problem Britain faces is that with our 2 party system (which Hitchens supports), it is impossible for a new party to rise up until there is a vacancy. This is how the Labour Party emerged to replace the Liberal Party — and this is the only way that the Conservative Party or Labour Party will in turn be replaced.
