We Are Not One People; We Have Never Been

Why You Should Listen
If you've ever felt a quiet grief for the country you thought you knew—if you're struggling to reconcile the ideals you were taught with the reality you see—this essay is for you. It doesn’t offer platitudes or easy hope. Instead, it offers something more honest: a clear-eyed look at the myth of American unity, the cost of pretending, and the quiet, necessary work of becoming something truer. It’s not just a critique—it’s a moral invitation to mourn, to reckon, and to help build a future worthy of belief.
