The United States of America has long promoted itself as a country that is united where everyone is free to do more or less what they want (So long as they aren't breaking the law of course). This has proven to be a very bad idea. All countries have to be more or less unified, and no society can exist unless there are rules in place telling people what is and isn't acceptable.
I suggest we change our cultural narrative to be that we are a place that welcomes diversity, and where we have boundaries but not barriers. It needs to acknowledge that, historically, we've been terrible at both, while allowing for the fact that we're working to improve.
