      Yes, but it’s like an addict quitting their addiction… the longer they go since the last time they did it, the more people can plausibly hope that they’ve kicked the habit.

      Now the clock is reset. I don’t believe it is impossible for a government or a people to grow, change, and improve over time without the need for a massive, violent upheaval to force it, but it’s EXTREMELY easy to show that they have NOT, and we got to see that today.
