> Until recently the US had taken pride in being nothing like a regime, but that may change in the coming years.

I tend to believe the US is already past that point. It's just people are not really realizing that yet. Might take the next election for them to realize. That will be to late however.

I hope so much that this is wrong and the US turns out to be more resilient than it looks like from the outside though.

This is my belief as well. My friend fled Syria after her mother was shot in the stomach by the police at the police station for asking to see her brother (I’m sure more was involved) and I have always kept in mind to look out for red lines being crossed at faster rates than before.
