Do you know America, or do you just think you know? I asked myself this question today, as I considered how different life must be for someone living in Oregon, or Minnesota, or Arkansas, or Vermont or Georgia. I’ve been to 3 of those 5 states, but it’s been years and years, and visiting isn’t the same. We are a massive country with a diverse geographical landscape, distinct pockets of specific populations, and millions of people adopting different ways of life. There is no single one way to live—that’s what freedom is—and that’s what used to once unite us. Maybe we can go back to that, if we can more broadly consider how different one’s life experience might be somewhere else 1500 miles away. Let’s keep that in mind on Election Day Eve. We might disagree about the way to go about things, but we all want the same things. It will take resolve and grit, work and perseverance, but we can change this country, and we can change the world.
