a world where these folks have access to indiscriminate killing machines. Even a guy like Lex is powerless against five Boston Dynamics dogs.

There is a non-zero chance that by the time my son is an old man and China's demographics have worked themselves out that China will be far and away the best place to live because their totalitarianism will be far preferable to totalitarianism run by the new Western immigrants. Once the critical mass point is hit, the papers mean nothing and the courts mean nothing. Think of the change in 25 years. 25 years ago the Religion of Peace brought down the Trade Center. Now they run the biggest city and have seats in both chambers of Congress. Apply the accelerating rate of change, demographic collapse as the Boomers die and run that clock another 25 years and it's gonna get real interesting. Good luck turning it back without a central mechanism to distribute propaganda and create a new arc in the Master Narrative.
