Overview

No one remembers signing up for America. There was no onboarding email. No instructional video. No ""Welcome to the United States, Please Review These Terms Carefully"" pop-up that you definitely clicked Accept without reading. And yet, here we are-340-ish million people participating in the largest group project ever attempted without a supervisor. Being American is not a personality trait, a bloodline, or a costume you put on during election years. It is an agreement. A very large, very old, extremely patched-together agreement between people who disagree about almost everything except this one crucial thing: it is better to argue inside the rules than fight outside them. This agreement is modest by design. It does not require you to like everyone. It does not require matching outfits. It does not require shared recipes, religions, or family trees. It asks only that the players agree to some general rules, follow basic norms of public behavior, and use a shared civic language so we can argue without immediately resorting to yelling, lawsuits, or historically embarrassing outcomes.
