Americans distrust each other, the government, and most major institutions. For the last 25 years, both parties have managed to over-promise, over-reach and under-deliver. It's not supposed to be this way, and it doesn't need to be. Jonah Goldberg P'25, co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of the Dispatch, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and television contributor, believes that the solutions to these problems don't require new ideas, but a willingness to embrace the actual principles of liberal democracy and the Constitution, not move 'beyond' them, as partisans and ideologues in both parties have sought to do.
