“We think we invented it in 1776, but maybe we have forgotten what it is like to bind together and sacrifice everything for a common national ideal and identity, until the Ukrainians showed us how it is done in 2023—by refusing to surrender their freedom.
If Americans join together like Ukraine has done, and restore a sense of shared truth, united purpose, and common decency--to save our democracy--it will be thanks to Ukraine, the new land of the free and home of the brave.
Ukrainians are standing up to Putin’s attack on their homeland, while we are still arguing about whether Russia’s attack on America actually happened, along with other Qanon theories.
I thought I came here as part of an American effort to save Ukraine, but this is what I learned: it is Ukraine that will save America.”
