We often struggle to accept when things have changed. It’s perfectly human. We instinctively fear the unknown. Change is unknown and should therefore be avoided. And what is the most basic human response to fear? Denial. “There’s not REALLY a monster hiding in my closet.” “I’m sure the other drivers on the road are paying attention.” “My government would never hurt me. This isn’t Russia. This is America.” But today, the American people are rapidly losing faith in the rule of law. That is one of the most dangerous things I can imagine. After all, the rule of law only exists up to the point that men decide it does not exist. Of course, it’s hard to blame folks for losing faith... VIR Things have changed in America. And it’s only going to get worse – not better.
