How do you believe we have won the war on terror?

We have very visible and emboldened domestic terror groups despite whatever state preemptive capabilities the Patriot Act brought in

And for Islamic extremists, the US mainland was barely ever the target. It just remains an eligible target due to an interpretation of jihad as long as we are seen as an invader in traditionally islamic lands.

Al Queda has more extreme offshoots which have destabilized regions including the effects of so many refugees sent all over the mediterranean

Strict Shariah from “not terrorist groups” are back in force despite 20 years of US wasting its resources and dividing itself over the budget overruns. This includes the extreme interpretation of Jihad that endangers US and all NATO countries.
