"This year, many Americans might be feeling less patriotic than usual on the
Fourth of July. During a time usually marked by fireworks, parades, and
barbecues, people across the country are grappling with increasing attacks on
civil liberties, science, and essential government programs. A couple months
ago, I received an email newsletter in my inbox with the subject line, “The end
of America as we know it?”
But what is the America we know? In school, we are taught that America was
founded with lofty visions of equality and has steadily worked to accomplish
them, even if it hasn’t always been perfect. But when you look at the broad arc
of American history, it’s the moments of progress that feel like an anomaly,
not individual leaders. In other words, the Trump administration’s assaults are
not a deviation, but essentially a more extreme version of the same old
American story. Just ask Indigenous people."
