One group always pushes the "nothing can be done" narrative because they've been making money hand over fist because of the way things are now and they don't want the status quo to change. Another group who jumps straight to "nothing can be done" have been conned by the first group into thinking that any deviation from the status quo is a trick by the devil to somehow take their freedom/property. Add in an unhealthy dose of American Exceptionalism and irrational fears of other countries and it means that there will always be somebody unwilling to consider adopting a good example set by people with a different flag or a funny accent. The rest of us are more frustrated than fascinated by the whole thing.
