Why the "Civil War" Narrative is a Lie (18-Month Journey)
About this episode
Wesley Warshawer shares insights from his 18-month journey through rural America, challenging the narrative of a divided nation.
Are we actually on the brink of a national collapse, or is mainstream media selling us a profitable lie? During the height of the pandemic, digital nomad Wesley Warshawer packed up his car, left his Silicon Valley bubble, and spent 18 months living in rural, conservative America. His mission: bypass the political noise and find out if everyday Americans are truly as divided as we are told. In this episode of The MiddleGround Mic , Wesley breaks down the eye-opening revelations from his journey. From the surprising immigration pride of North Dakota to massive media-driven blind spots, we explore why ignorance is routinely mistaken for malice and why the foundational ethics of everyday citizens remain remarkably united.
