Vice President JD Vance traveled to Munich to talk to foreign leaders at a security conference, and today’s remarks also seemed to be directed at American audiences.
“In America, we are censoring or putting our enemies in prison, whether we are opposition leaders, humble Christians praying in our own homes, or journalists trying to report the news. And I know very well that we can’t win democratic missions. “He said.
“We also can’t win by ignoring basic voters on questions like these:
While European leaders may have seen the young vice president as lectured them about their actions and attitudes, Vance’s domestic message was clear. Trump has denounced various criminal charges against him over the past two years as “political prosecutors” aimed at stopping him from returning to power. He also denounces the Biden administration in a Christian survey against diversity lessons in public schools.
He then accused the government of working with social media companies of removing content that was labelled as disinformation or misleading. These are all topics that have shaken American politics over the past four years. And, in Vance’s view, it’s why Trump, not Democrats, was delegated to last year’s presidential election.
The question of “who will become part of our shared society” is directly linked to the themes Vance has repeatedly touched on in his short political career – he at the Republican National Convention last July Includes acceptance speech. “Ideas” or set of principles, those bound by shared history and common homelands.
Vance may not be in America now, but he is giving a message about what it means to be American again.
