A Vast, Divergent Land

by Erick-Woods Erickson

“The United States of America is 3.8 million square miles, filled with three hundred forty million people, producing over $30 trillion in gross domestic product per year. We are the fourth largest country by land, third by population, and second by GDP. We no longer know each other, care for each other, nor like each other. We are a nation of isolated people staring at screens and filled with existential terrors about the other, whoever the other might be. On Tuesday night across America, those existential terrors played out with fear of the other. Hispanic voters who voted for Donald Trump and Republicans in 2024, swung back to Democrats in 2026. They were fine with deporting gang bangers and criminals, but maybe not Jose down the street, who works as a gardener.” (11/06/25)
