Searching for America
In my search for the real America - that elusive soul of the U.S.A. - I’ve come to realize, via miles traveled and steps walked, that the sheer size of this country makes it almost impossible to pin down a single description of America or its inhabitants.
The landmass is so huge and geographically and culturally diverse that I’ve barely visited a fraction of the places I want to see in the decade I’ve called Atlanta, Georgia, my home.
As an outsider, with a global perspective, I am not weighed down by the baggage of family history, politics or a sense of place.
That’s why I started this podcast. I want to understand the the political choices Americans are making, and why.
Good conversation, listening and understanding another person’s point of view (without necessarily agreeing) is the key to reinforcing the political centre.
Now that President Donald Trump has won a second term, with a massive and decisive victory, I’m excited to bring my outsider perspective to viewing his Presidency.
Can he bring the country together? How much division will be healed or created by his agenda? What are the geopolitical implications of a Trump 2.0 Presidency?
Here in the South, and I know across the country, there are millions of good Americans who want the best for this country, I am looking forward to charting the twists and turns.
These are complicated times, and this is a large country, and the only way I know how to make sense of it all is by talking and listening to as many people as possible.
