Chris Rabb, a Democratic nominee for Congress, has criticized the United States' founding documents and institutions. Speaking at an event called "America at 250," Rabb described the nation as built on stolen land and labor. He particularly attacked the Declaration of Independence, calling it performative and exclusionary to Indigenous and Black peoples. Rabb contends that this foundational hypocrisy institutionalized privilege. While acknowledging the inherent conflict between the Declaration's ideals and slavery, Rabb goes further. He suggests the nation's system is inherently fascistic, not worthy of celebration for its articulated ideals. Rabb dismisses concepts like the American dream and American exceptionalism as harmful myths. He has also pledged to advocate for reparations for Black Americans in Congress. The article notes a trend on the left of condemning founding principles and avoiding Independence Day celebrations. It contrasts this with John Adams' vision of a celebratory Independence Day. The author argues against Rabb's claim of inherent fascism, highlighting the nation's defeat of fascism and longevity. He criticizes some on the left for hypocrisy, claiming to fight fascism while seeking to pack the Supreme Court and limit free speech. The author concludes that these critical voices represent a historical rejection of mobocracy, emphasizing the need to preserve the Republic.
