Safe to say - there is no "Real America". This whole enterprise is built on a nebulous phrase in the preamble of our constitution.
"...in order to form a more perfect union..."
It's our great strength - we understand that while perfection is unattainable, we can always make it a little better "for ourselves and our posterity" if we can deal straight with each other, and just keep the thing moving forward.
At the same time, it can be our great weakness. Because evil men will always be looking for opportunities to pervert and twist the meaning of words, in order to take good people's desire simply to be treated fairly and to live in peace - and use it as a weapon against them.
