And the Western ruled 'populations' are pissed angry and have had a belly full. These two things mean that that crazy has to be walked backwards or else the real power above the stage of actors has a very high risk of losing control, something they most definitely don't want. (But walking it back won't be accomplished in weeks or months, but over many years.
