Hugo, like the Little Goons, liberals in general, and other anti-American types refuse to accept the fact of American exceptionalism. They do this mainly not because they don't know the reality, it is because they want so desperately to wish it away. The USA is going to be just fine.
The majority of this nation's citizen are not going to give up their lifestyle and freedom to appease the Left. There will be war - there will be solid resistance - and there will be a huge backlash.
The Left, in their usual arrogant ignorance, has overestimated their power. They have decided to play all their cards in the first hand. Now, their chips are falling off the table.
This nation, being a polite society, has absorbed a certain amount of socialism. This has happened because socialism has been introduced in a slow and painless manner. Now this sudden onslaught is upon us. It's "in your face" and completely threatening. It isn't going to be embraced.
The American spirit is still alive and well. It sleeps complacent in good times. It roars and fights in the bad times. These are bad times.
The Left is about to become poison. The arrogant pricks deserve every minute of it.
