In this piece, two Muslims visit middle America to see how divided the U.S. really is and speak with people about different issues at the forefront of national debate. The writer had a lot of meaningful – and at times, perplexing – conversations, but ultimately concludes that the U.S. is such a diverse and nuanced place, that boiling regions and peoples down into simplistic tropes and stereotypes is as impossible as it is inaccurate. We salute this writer and her friend for making their journey to learn more about their fellow Americans!
