Nathan Gardels Quote
Belief in the corruptibility of all institutions leads to a dead end of universal distrust, political scientist Francis Fukuyama warns. American democracy, all democracy, will not survive a lack of belief in the possibility of impartial institutions; instead, partisan political combat will come to pervade every aspect of life.1 And so it has. From a reading of history going back to ancient Rome, we know that this is the way republics unravel. That danger should be our uppermost concern today.
