The piece examines the paradoxical sentiment in the United States where, despite measurable progress, many Americans perceive the present as challenging or worse than before.
The article delves into the political and social dynamics contributing to this perception, reflecting on why the country’s best days can feel like its worst. This analysis is presented from a conservative editorial perspective, consistent with National Review's longstanding approach since its founding in 1955.
