Heritage Senior Advisor and Research Fellow Allen Mendenhall says the United States is “divided” as the country’s “red state-blue state” split deepens. “I think it’s a divided America, and I think the red state-blue state divide has become even more bifurcated in the last decade,” Mr Mendenhall told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “It’s not something that I see easing up anytime soon, but I also see a lot more pride – it’s different because, in my view, I feel as if the left has begun to despise America’s traditions and despise America’s culture and to treat it as a long train of abuses. “They really dislike America and a lot of them even hate America. “They’re not going to be expected to celebrate America, and that’s disappointing because the very governing institutions and traditions that we have are what allow them to freely express themselves in that public way and they enjoy all these freedoms to hate America and it’s because these freedoms exist, and I believe they take them for granted.”
