They seriously refuse to and when they find the public on the other side of them on civil liberties and the drug war and take a hit for it they will blame everyone on Earth but themselves, refuse to accept reality, and as always take it as a reason to become more reactionary and conservative.
It is already in evidence, there is no "we need to fix this, this the correct policy, these are our issues and we aren't going to let some snake oil salesman with a bad rug steal them out from under us", instead it is circling the wagons for the surveillance state, beating war drums, every excuse on Earth for continuing the failed and stupid drug war, and haughty derision.
