VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Will changes to American life become permanent? Not as they are today, certainly. Quoting Hanson:

When institutions and politicians cannot accommodate radically changed circumstances, people will no longer value institutions and politicians. In their place, citizens will seek to ensure their own livelihoods, leisure, and safety in ways that are more reliable and affordable -- with their circumstances in their own hands rather than in those of distant others.

Also quoting Hanson with this warning:

And their adjustments won't always be calm or polite.

Clearly today's 'new normal' cannot stand, but neither can the 'old normal'. We've seen the Deep State behind the curtain -- it must go.
