VDH: The dangerous, diminishing power of the independent American citizen.
More formally, our professional legal, academic, and politically active elitists have lost faith in the ancient customs and the Constitution itself. They loath the fact that our traditions have privileged individual liberty over government-coerced equality of result.
Not long ago the idea of a "Deep State" usurping power from the duly elected was scoffed at as fringe conspiracy theory stuff. With example after example made public seemingly every day (many examples are laid out by VDH in this piece) the question has changed from; "Does the Deep State exist? to "What do we do about it?"
I may be more optimistic than Dr. Hanson because I feel the pendulum has swung too far and a course correction is on the way. I have faith that the "independent American citizen" has had enough.
