Leftists want Americans to hate their own country ahead of Independence Day, J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat from Ohio, said on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
Democrats and the broader left frame the United States as a nation born in sin in need of political salvation through leftist ideology, Vance observed.
“What I really hate about what the left is doing right now is … that they’re trying to make us hate our history,” Vance remarked. He determined that left-wing historical revisionism is not done in good faith “to learn lessons from our history.”
A unifying affectionate view of national history facilitates social cohesion and healthy functioning, Vance held.
“Unless you have that real deep sense of patriotism that makes you feel like you’re connected to the traditions of the past, inspired to make your country better for the future, then you can’t actually accomplish anything,” he said. “You’re not a real country if you don’t have a sense of your history.”
He continued, “On this Fourth of July, especially given, what’s going on politically, we should say we’re proud to be Americans. We take pride in our traditions, and we’re looking to build something better for the future, because if we don’t, then what’s the point of this whole American project?”
Disconnecting Americans from their history makes them more vulnerable to governmental control and manipulation, Vance warned.

He concluded, “Get out there on the Fourth of July, wave that American flag, get happy about what we’re doing, because this country is still a very great place despite all its problems.”
I dislike leftists, but I really dislike their assistants that wear R jerseys, the TransRepublicans.
They’re teaching our kids to hate us and themselves.
I think kids in this type of atmosphere....would eventually turn around and ask, so, where should we move to, in order to be happy? El Salvador? Philippines? Mongolia?
Once they figure out that you as the parent are fairly foolish, your respect goes out the front-door.
With his message I think he could have a positive effect on other races. I just read the first 30 pages of his book. Kentuckians were the ‘Oakies’ of Ohio where his grandparents migrated. Raised chickens in the front yard, much to the chagrin of the neighbors. Even wrung their necks to harvest them-the chickens that is. Summers were spent back in Kentucky where he was happier. Night and day.
We should go with him as Mandel and Timken appear to be the same old same old.
I learned at a young age how to kill and pluck a chicken. I learned it didn’t ‘come from the store’. Would todays children be allowed to watch that?
And patriots have for so long entrusted our elected representatives to fight for us, the war is lost. Our elected reps (POTUS Trump the singular exception) have betrayed us ........... for decades! Decades!
50 years ago they were trying. In 2021 they are succeeding.
Evey day since he announced his candidacy, Breitbart gives us article supporting early Never Trumper Vance who is now talking about Trump like he’s his best friend.
I don’t trust Vance.
Why is BB pushing this guy?
You said it, bro. The Decepticon lobby is bringing in Vance because they have GOT to knock out Josh Mandel, and nobodies like Jane Timken aren't catching fire with the base. Vance is an actor who can and will read a script designed to fool us.

Sounds like Bill Barr.
We are watching the TV Mini-Series of John Adams. It’s really good. Based upon the book you’re reading by David McCullough. Won 13 well-deserved Emmys. Great supporting cast. Lots of familiar faces from other TV series.

Can’t touch me on this one ...Viet/Cold War vet.
Ain’t nuthin’, nowhere, no how, that’s gonna change the way I love MY country!
I’ve seen the world outside the CONUS, an’ it ain’t better than inside the CONUS!!!
If they think it is, then IT’S FREAKIN’ —THEM — that need to pack up and go “there”, wherever “that” is!
The left is in a constant state of “hate and destroy.”
