Can they be stopped? Yes; but NOT be appeasement; and are we willing and ready to take the necessary steps to do so? That's the real question. More, is our government ready and willing? To the latter question, the answer would appear to be no. The people, at least a significant number of them, do seem to be past ready and willing. These are BULLIES and appeasement will never work, it's never done so in all human history. The sooner that is accepted and the appropriate actions are taken to stop them, the better for all Americans. And the stopping will get ugly; that we all know.
