but they can certainly fight to try to keep white men on top of the hierarchy for as long as possible, and they can try to use government powers to do so. such things have been done in many countries, mostly at the low points of their histories.

i'm also hoping for some solid electoral victories and a peaceful return to sanity, and for the white supremacists to fade into ignominy and obscurity.

i'm not entirely sure our institutions are strong enough, though.
