Victor Davis Hanson is not optimistic. He concludes his American Greatness essay “Losing Confidence in the Pillars of Our Civilization”:
In the current crime wave, brazen
lawbreakers enjoy de facto immunity. Mass looting goes unpunished.
Indictments are often aimed as much against those who defend themselves as
against criminals who attack the innocent.
Conservatives now have lost their
former traditional confidence in the administration of justice, in the
intelligence and investigatory agencies, in the nation’s military leadership,
in the media, and the criminal justice system.
No one yet knows what the effect
will be of half the country losing faith in the very pillars of American
civilization.
