About Divided America

It’s no longer just Republican vs. Democrat, or liberal vs. conservative. It’s the 1 percent vs. the 99 percent, rural vs. urban, white men against the world. Climate doubters clash with believers. Bathrooms have become battlefields, borders are battle lines. Sex and race, faith and ethnicity ... the melting pot seems to be boiling over. Divided America is a multimedia series that explores the divisions confronting Americans in their communities and their politics. AP’s unique position in every corner of the country makes for unmatched insight into the economic and social forces driving the American discourse in 2016 and beyond.
