If you appease people who are out to destroy you, then you make it easier for them to destroy you. If you meet them halfway, or even 1 percent of the way, they are determined to destroy you, 100 percent, regardless. When people declare war on all that you hold dear, they have attacked you personally, even if they have never met you. They are coming for you, through the destruction of all your liberty and property, and they mean to obliterate you if you don’t submit to their undiluted tyranny. At some point, you must figure out how to win, and how to decisively defeat them — because they, and their kind, are never going to stop.
