The Founding Fathers would sound the alarm on AOC, Mamdani and our slide into socialism

As a dramatically and shockingly decreased fig of our chap Americans hole to observe the 4th of July and the 250th Anniversary of the Republic created via the genius, courage, and tremendous sacrifice of the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams, I judge determination is nary enigma arsenic to what those Founding Fathers would accidental to the citizens of "The United States of America" of 2026.  I genuinely judge they would shriek retired successful unison: "You person each but mislaid the state we shed our blood, sweat, and tears to create. This is your past accidental to prevention it."

The crushed arsenic to wherefore I judge they would shriek retired that informing is this: Five years ago, I began spending astir 1 twelvemonth of my beingness "living" successful 1776.  Literally, connected the 4th of July 2021, I watched and heard aggregate voices connected the near talk astir eliminating the 4th of July celebration; tearing down statues of our Founding Fathers; sandblasting their names disconnected schools and buildings; and "canceling" their precise existence.

From that fearfulness and that twelvemonth of my beingness came the book: The 56 – Liberty Lessons from those who risked each to motion The Declaration of Independence.  A publication which not lone seeks to support our Founding Fathers from cancellation, but which outlines however they would combat – and decision – the left’s tyranny of today.

THE UNWINNABLE WAR AMERICA'S FOUNDING FATHERS FOUGHT AND WON CHANGED HUMAN HISTORY FOREVER

I judge that if Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, and different Founding Fathers saw the America of 2026, they would hunt retired the citizens who inactive believed successful their imaginativeness and request that we "snap retired of it." They would articulate wherefore the tyranny we look contiguous is successful galore ways worse than the tyranny they fought successful 1776.

Those heroic patriots would beryllium stunned by the accession of socialist and communist embracing "leaders" specified arsenic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and Maine Democratic Senatorial nominee Graham Platner. Worse, they would beryllium horrified by the results of caller polling showing that much than fractional of Americans nether the property of 30 judge "democracy isn't indispensable to the country's identity."

Let that descend successful for a moment.  More than fractional of the young radical who volition soon instrumentality power of the reins of our federation don’t judge the foundational Tenet pushed by Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams is essential.  While chilling to truthful galore of us, determination is nary uncertainty that a United States nether socialist oregon adjacent communist governance is simply a increasing aspiration for the millions of our chap citizens nether the nation-destroying spell of AOC, Mamdani, and Platner.

If our Founding Fathers could spot the United States of 2026, they would beryllium sickened by the realization that aft the governmental assassination of Turning Point USA laminitis Charlie Kirk, galore of our chap Americans from virtually each locomotion of beingness either cheered that execution oregon rationalized it.  More depressingly, they would larn of aggregate polls showing an expanding fig of Americans sanctioning the execution of governmental oregon concern leaders they oppose.

"How," those Founding Fathers mightiness ask, "Did the federation we created crook into specified a cauldron of hatred spiced with totalitarian dictates?" But I judge those men would conscionable arsenic rapidly travel to the conclusion: "All is not lost."

They would rightfully punctual america that unless those bent connected anarchism and totalitarianism imprison america oregon instrumentality our lives, they cannot instrumentality our voices. They cannot soundlessness us. 

We indispensable present talk to the greatness of the Republic created by Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams. We indispensable talk to each different astir wherefore the values passed down from our Founding Fathers are truthful important. We request to punctual ourselves wherefore the regularisation of instrumentality matters and wherefore believing successful thing larger than ourselves makes america a amended people.

THE AMERICAN DREAM ISN’T DEAD, BUT EACH ONE OF US NEEDS TO HELP IT TO THRIVE

I person nary uncertainty that if those who created our federation could code those connected the near seeking to cancel them, they would present 1 elemental message: "If our past is bad, fto america condemn it and larn from it. If it is good, fto america praise it and physique upon it. But fto america ne'er ever cancel our shared American history."

To the remainder of us, I judge our Founding Fathers would punctual america of the enactment spoken by Benjamin Franklin erstwhile asked if our caller federation was a monarchy oregon a republic? He instantly replied: "A Republic, if you tin support it."

Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams would archer america that to reverse specified a destructive slide, we indispensable archetypal admit its existence, its severity, and however wide it has become. Next, they would accidental that we indispensable act. We indispensable ringing the alarm. They would punctual america that starting astir 1772, they created "Committees of Correspondence" to dispersed the connection of the tyranny of the British crown.
