In this short clip from a recent bonus episode of Derate The Hate, Wilk Wilkinson is joined by Will Harwood and Ibrahim Anli for a timely and courageous conversation about what truly holds America together in a time of deep division.
At the heart of this clip is the idea of a living civic contract โ one rooted in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and our shared civic creed. But this contract is more than words on parchment: itโs a commitment each generation makes to rise to the challenges it did not choose, and to rediscover the American spirit of resilience, optimism, and pluralism.
๐ In this clip, we explore:
Why every generation of Americans has risen to challenges it did not choose
How polarization is tied to a loss of grounding in civic education and shared values
Why pluralism and immigration are both strengths and challenges in our national identity
The role of organizations like Braver Angels in reconnecting Americans to civic creed and civic obligations
How optimism and confidence in Americaโs founding ideals can anchor us in a polarized age
This is not just about civics โ itโs about who we are, and who we can still become if we reassert and engage with the civic commitments that built this nation.
๐ Watch now, and then join the movement to bridge divides and strengthen civic renewal:
