I know "inside of you, there are two wolves" is thoroughly silly, but, also, it pretty much completely describes the history and present of the United States. One wolf is slavery, Manifest Destiny, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Trail of Tears, Jim Crow, ICE, "replacement theory". The other is the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, birthright citizenship, Composite Nation, Civil Disobedience, the melting pot, the Shining City on the Hill.
