As Donald E. Vandergriff, a lifelong defender of American exceptionalism and unapologetic supporter of President Donald J. Trump and the MAGA movement, I’ve watched with growing alarm as the radical left infiltrates every corner of our shared history. The so-called “new” Ken Burns documentary, The American Revolution—a bloated 12-hour PBS snoozefest that premiered on November 16, 2025—just proves how far the elites will go to rewrite our founding story.
This isn’t history; it’s propaganda, a slick hit job designed to undermine the heroic narrative of our forefathers and replace it with the victimhood gospel of Cultural Marxism. Trump warned us about this: fake news and leftist indoctrination masquerading as education. And here it is, straight from the swamp of public broadcasting, defunded under Trump’s wise leadership yet still spewing its bile.
Burns, that self-appointed oracle of the past, has built a career on slow pans over sepia-toned images and folksy narration that lulls you into complacency before slipping in the knife. Remember his Vietnam War series? It humanized the commies while downplaying American resolve.
Or his Civil War update, where he couldn’t resist injecting modern woke commentary? This Revolution doc is more of the same—only now, timed for the 250th anniversary, it’s a deliberate assault on the very ideals that made America great.
