I’m Carol Marks, the blogger behind An Americanist—a clean, no-nonsense space where politics, culture, and common sense meet. I write with a sharp eye and a dry wit, calling things the way ordinary Americans see them, not how elites wish we did. I don’t dress up the truth, I don’t follow the narrative, and I’m here to cut through the noise. If you’re tired of being talked down to, you’re in the right place.
