Ironically the precise moment of their downfall was at the heighth of when they themselves thought they were being their best and most successful. With the huge rallies in the streets that happened, they got jazzed up over it into a literal frenzy, but while that may well have pushed (doubled) their support from 3% to 6% of the people in the USA, all at the same time,
it woke up and radicalized a VAST SEGMENT of Americans AGAINST THEM, so that it went from something like 40% opposed to 90% opposed.And THAT...is what I call...urinating in the wind.
