  • About MythicAmerica

      Follow MythicAmerica on Twitter and FacebookMythicAmerica.us is a place to explore mythic themes -- the taken-for-granted narratives and assumptions -- basic to the political culture of the United States in the past, present, and future. You are cordially invited to join the conversation.Let’s start with some definitions:Myth: A myth is not a lie. A myth is a story, compounded of fact and fiction, that expresses something fundamental about the worldview and the values of the people who tell it: what they assume about how the world is and how people should and do live in it. The people who tell a myth do not judge it by whether it can be proven factually true. Rather, it shapes their view of truth; it tells them what they can accept as factually true and what they must consider false.
