One Nation Divisible

The American electorate

September 15, 2016

Damn. What an ugly election.

That's what everybody's thinking. Intros to special problems like this 1 are supposed to be Solomonic tone poems. Only that's not possible in the middle of this spectacle, in which an unprecedentedly unpopular Democrat faces a Republican who in crazy means is unlike whatever previous presidential candidate. For many Americans, the options are simply plain atrocious.

Data. That'due south where we turned to effigy out how in the globe we got here. And then our reporters and photographers ­traveled from Tukwila, Wash., to Albertville, Ala., talking to voters. The movie we pieced together shows just how divided nosotros've get—and helps explicate why.

Above + below photos by William Mebane for Bloomberg Businessweek

At that place are 2 Americas, one blue and one red

In that location's an America that'due south young and another that's getting old

One America is richer than always before, and another is poorer and losing promise

In one, minorities come across piffling progress; in some other, whites see their privilege fading

In one America, men accept fallen behind, and in some other, women tin't grab up

Nosotros categorized Americans using these five divisions: blood-red country or blue state , quondam or young , rich or not-rich , white or minority , male or female .

Arrange those groups in every possible combination—erstwhile men , red-state immature women , one-time rich minority men , bluish-state young rich white women , etc.—and yous air current up with 242 unlike Americas.

We went and found examples of each group, either in people we talked to or in information. And then we chatted with workers over 65, the fastest-growing segment of the labor force, and went dancing with club kids in Brooklyn. We exchanged e-mails with billionaire Marker Cuban and hung out with Milo ­Yiannopoulos, the confront of the ­alt-right. Before we become to them, let's visit Ohio.

"We joined the church in 1954. It was the matter to do, and you lot practise what everybody else does, yous know? The church building airtight because the membership got too small. This is a personal opinion, but the younger people today, both the human and woman are working, and Sunday is their only day to be gratuitous to practise things, and church isn't a requirement for them. Things alter. The church was 160-something years one-time. You had the feeling it would be ­forever, simply zip is forever."

"Hillary could learn from Drake to be more vulnerable and transparent. Donald Trump? I don't know what Donald Trump would learn.

Drake is making songs most love and falling in dear and feeling insecure or finding your way with relationships. That'due south something that all people tin relate to. Drake is smart plenty to know that people want hits and they desire to feel skillful. And whether he writes 'em or someone else writes 'em, it'due south all about getting the best music to the people."

Hari Kondabolu

"Growing up as a person of color, if I wanted to bask media, I had to humanize white people. You have to see white people as similar to y'all. If you don't do that, you can't savor annihilation. If you don't run across the people on screen every bit in some fashion like you, then you aren't able to take in whatever media whatsoever. Now, the other side is you have a lot of white people who say, 'I'k not going to see this moving picture because information technology'southward a black movie.' It's like there are white people who are not used to seeing people of color as equally homo­—equally having white people'due south experiences, sharing a common thread of humanity, also being American. That's a fundamental difference in what people are used to. So now y'all take an increase in minority representation. You have an increase in people beingness able to say what they want after years of beingness suppressed. And and then you have a white population that feels similar they're under attack, because they're non used to seeing these images. They're non used to hearing from this America."

Ferguson Is the Reason This Hispanic Adult female Is Becoming a Cop

Krystal Rock,
St. Louis County & Municipal Police Academy in Missouri,
form of December 2016

 "When Ferguson happened, I felt like it was something I needed to do—y'all demand fresh police officers to get out there and help the people who had to go through it and perchance modify the atmosphere. A lot of police force officers desire to make a difference, in my form particularly. Nosotros talk about the events, we await at videos. They're trying to make it amend for everyone out there.

"I'thou a platoon leader, one of two out of the 42 in the class. I've gotten calls from some of my male classmates proverb that they retrieve I'grand one of the best recruits. They try to help me get jobs. They've been really supportive. And they've all met Brittany, my fiancée. 5 years ago, I feel like with a lot of people this would not have been acceptable. Information technology's come up a long way.

"Brittany supports me in everything I do. When all those police ­officers were getting killed a couple months ago, she was very worried. Simply she knew what she was getting into when she met me. Law enforcement can requite you every emotion. Y'all accept to get into it knowing your life tin be taken—but taken doing something that you lot wanted to do. It's underpaid, and yet people are still out at that place laying their lives downward for people they don't know. I've heard stories of people who have inverse their lifestyles because of the police officer that arrested them. If I can exist that law officer, it will all exist worth information technology.

"My dad was a loftier school bully, fights and stuff. My mom, kind of the aforementioned thing. I run into the mode that they view police enforcement, and it sucks. Police officers don't wake up every day saying, 'I desire to ruin this family unit' or 'I want to hurt someone.' They just desire to do their jobs and get home to their families. Information technology's a very small percent that are crooked, just like it's a very small-scale pct that wants to injure people. When the media makes that all that is shown, it feels like it'southward everyone—that every cop wants to kill someone or every person wants to kill a cop—when in reality 95 percent of the community is pro-police.

"Modify needs to happen. Ever since I joined the police academy, my family shares things on Facebook, good things about police officers, similar videos of a cop playing with a bunch of little kids. Information technology's starting to come around." —As told to Christopher Gregory

America Looks Meliorate From Outer Space

"This is a connected world. I've seen fires in the Northwest United states where the smoke goes to Nippon. When you see it for yourself, in that location's an emotional swing, a spiritual upbringing. There is a fundamental change that occurs, and I don't think you ever see the earth the same way, in a disconnected manner, always again."

—Astronaut Dan Barry, who logged more than 734 hours in space aboard the shuttles Endeavour and Discovery

And so, where'southward the hope?

This presidential campaign has set Americans against each other, ­deepening disagreements into divisions. Is a country as big, diverse, and ornery as the Usa has become even governable?

In that location's a clue in the pages of this issue, crammed with the anxieties and dreams of funeral directors and archaeologists, CEOs and ­pastors, DJs and podiatrists. As a wise person—maybe Cervantes, maybe your mother—one time said, "It takes all kinds." Nations, like teams in companies, thrive when they depict on diverse talents and ideas. In a commonwealth that's divided a yard ways, no single faction is large enough to impose its will. And people who disagree on ane outcome might agree on others. A ­country with a single deep divide, like the one that caused the Civil War, is far more precarious than a nation with so many that we call it variety. The Founding Fathers saw that. "Extend the sphere, and y'all take in a greater variety of parties and interests," counseled James Madison in 1787 in Federalist Paper No. 10.

Americans aren't as divided as their parties. On bodily issues, equally opposed to rhetoric, their positions overlap, according to a study by the ­Program for Public Consultation at the ­University of Maryland. It ­analyzed fourteen surveys conducted from 2008 to 2013. Most Republicans took a ­position opposed to that of virtually Democrats on fewer than a fifth of the questions.

This is what President Obama was ­getting at in his speech at the ­Democratic National Convention this year. "I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together," he said. "Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; immature, erstwhile; gay, direct, men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance, under the same proud flag, to this big, bold country that we dear."

As of import as the election on Nov. viii is, what matters more is what ­happens on Nov. 9 and afterward. The hope comes from this: As different equally they are, Americans all want the same thing—the liberty and security to pursue  possibility.
