As Princess Leia said to Tarkin, ‘the more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.’

And all perfect storms eventually weaken, fade and die.

Let’s also not forget that the great replacement theory – ie., demographic trends – represents the end of Republican grip on power.
