Way back when on TMF when I cared - I used to warn about certain people and certain trends and how it will not enhance, but change your societies for the negative. Personal attacks ensued.
So since about 2006, I decided to profit from such trends - documented on TMF. Walked in the immigration protests in DC literally. Got better at Spanish. Helped multiple 1st generation Muslim small business owners legally evade and zero out their taxes and made sure their spouses got onto Social Security and made dear friends along the way. Helped a few High-Tech Visa people gain permanent residence, and to this day being promoted or occupying nice I.T positions.
Another part was doing under-the-radar rentals - ie multiple families in one dwelling, in semi-affluent blue areas and as I see test scores DECLINE over the years in said district, extra curricular activities cut, English as a 2nd Language funds INCREASE along with crime statistics....it's a joy to know that a tiny tiny tiny pinch of that - was from me. LOL in my dwellings - the property tax is around $4000 a year per dwelling - 3 kids minimum. While just a 1/4 mile up the road - the EV's in driveway, 1.7 average kids, paying $12-$14k in property taxes. And I thank them for doing their part. All the while....County "Housing Vouchers" in 2 cases pay humble - but very dependable rent and all of that is a big reason I retired at 45. It's kinda cool getting approx $3,200 in Federal refunds per year, and out $6700 in Health Insurance subsidy, versus paying $200k in yearly personal income tax.
I used to say the your country is going from melting pot - to mosaic. And eventually you'll be into visible tribes, sects, and castes and even the most dullards amongst you sometimes are seeing it. Your institutions are losing credibility not just with the MAGA types - but across the semi-fruited-but-more-fruity plaines lol. (Oh man that was good).
Many disagreed but I said that eventually, due to your socioeconomic policies and cultural shifts..... political violence will one day, become a normal occurrence. We're not there yet, as of now your culture is accepting mass shootings as a basic daily food group. But eventually - fist fights in Congress. Bombs and assassinations between campaigns. Armed security at polling stations. It's all on the way *just* as you have been cooking up.
Almost makes me want to lose weight and eat better, I wanna be around to see it. Anyhow, it's time for drive-thru breakfast soon. But here's some timid stuff: While the large French library and it's 9 million texts burn and smolder. While an Enlightened "Democratic" France has BANNED certain protests, Putin-Style.....another Western Government is having some fun too: The headlines say "COLLAPSE" ---sadly I feel that's an exaggeration it's not that bad. And the Google-Jockey can explain it away, it's no biggie. Only - it is. Everything that the Left and Academics beckoned is now structural.
And - it is only just starting to pay dividends. (That's a term that tax evading Greedy 401k'ers are familiar with, it turns you on, I know).

The day will come where things like this are just a day in the office for Europe, and possibly America too. Though the latter has hope - because America is better than Europe.
