In case you forgot how American leaders used to speak:

"... there's not a liberal America and a conservative America — there's the United States of America." THREAD. 1/

"There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America." 2/

"The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats." 3/

"But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States." 4/

"We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.... We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America." @BarackObama, 2004.
