Who determines when it has "gone badly" though. It feels like that bar has been raised a lot higher than it should be. I hope it doesn't get to that extreme as well!
Usually "gone badly" is when the inevitable war starts turning against them. Again, let's hope that doesn't happen this time.
I feel like Americans (not all, obviously. You know what I mean) are still in that "it can't happen here" phase. US propaganda has been pumping that out so strongly for decades that for many people, the idea just doesn't compute. I think that's why the bar keeps being raised. Better to ignore the truth than to have that cornerstone of American belief come crashing down.
