Martin Gurri: When Things Fall Apart | The Free Press

But we shouldn t yield to despair. 

A solid majority of Americans strongly supports Israel and feels comfortable using the word terrorist when applied to Hamas. And the course correction the country so desperately needs, if it is to happen, will be propelled not by our corrupt elites or by our broken institutions but by an impatient public. The incipient barbarism of the identitarians has been revealed to anyone with eyes to see. With luck, the tide of history may soon be ebbing from this destructive ideology. 

The American people have lost their way before and always returned to a place of decency and sanity. I am not a prophet, but I have faith that we will recover from the present psychotic episode and demand an accounting of those who led us here. The American future is always a frontier: we will face dangers because the world is a harsh and alien place, but we will also discover or reconfigure new and better-adapted arrangements for living together, at home and abroad.

There is always a reason to hope.

Well that’s just his opinion.

Just kidding. Don’t despair. Doesn’t do anybody any good.
