Comments: And losing the political battle, even permanently, does not mean losing the West.
The West that existed before Democracy knew how to contain social and cultural wreckers. I doubt the post-Democracy West will have either the moxie or or cojones for this.

What follows the West will not be the West, not even a pale imitation. The West was never about mere geography. See Roger Scruton's outstanding treatise, The West and the Rest: Globalization and the Terrorist Threat.
Also a book of nearly the same name by Niall Ferguson.

Or they'll become extinct.
Democracy is just another form of slavery.

Between or above the snarling and sniveling there is a place of hard-won decency, honor, nobility. To paraphrase Rumi, "I'll meet you there."
Let us not be the Greatest Degeneration.
