Everything is going to be better than it could be. These swamp critters were rooted out for what they were, and no matter what, we have a goal to fight and remove them.
The thing is, we now know. We know how ugly, how terrible these people are. We were taught lots of valuable lessons here, and we've come out of this as more hardened men. If at the end it comes out that we win, which I think we will, then we've both learned those lessons and claimed our rightful victory.
"These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."

Didn't POTUS say in one of his speeches the harder the fight the sweeter the victory. It may be a quote from someone else??
Reminds me of this Washington quote:
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Actually that was Thomas Paine:
"These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
