I’ve come to similar conclusions as you on all points. It’s sad to see that dream die a slow death with each passing day, but the peoples who had been warring with each other for centuries on the world’s then-smallest continent have been able to accomplish incredible things against large populations with the smallest of numbers; it’s not at all impossible to turn the tide.
Considerations given to or theories about either the inferiority of the losers or the superiority of the victors notwithstanding, what a unified national identity accomplished in the creation and expansion of this unapologetic American project was incredible. More incredible than that would be to see that national identity realized again under a Pan-European banner and all that would follow it.
Should Pan-European thought take hold again, although this time actually in practice and truly accounting for not just the Anglos but our wide variety of European stock, the reality and impracticality of a multiracial future will loom large in the minds of your average White American. In fear of
this, the idealistic belief implicitly held by most White people that our position will forever be maintained simply by the merit of our culture will be replaced by the understanding that our position can only be maintained through strength in numbers. Third-world immigrants of the mid-late 20th and 21st century understand this well and look to prove it themselves if demographic projections are to be believed, but I do believe that White Americans will relearn this before it’s too late.
The expansionist spirit of Jefferson, Jackson, Polk and Teddy still exists in this country, but only in the mind of a few. I believe we’d see a total resurrection of it once we help others realize that we’ve already ceded an incredible amount of territory to the Other without altering our maps to reflect the changes in borders and without a single shot fired.
