- Adam Kinzinger's speech at the Democratic convention aimed to engage a wider audience by presenting himself as a Republican opposed to Donald Trump. Kinzinger, who clashed with Trump during his congressional tenure, is not pro-Harris but rather anti-Trump. This creates a challenge for Trump supporters who view Kinzinger as disloyal and unethical.
- Kinzinger criticized Trump for attempting to undermine the democratic processes in the U.S. He urged his party members to recognize the patriotic intentions of Democrats, stating, 'Democrats love this country just as much as we do.' This statement contradicts the widespread belief among Republicans that the Democratic Party is unpatriotic.
- Polls indicate that only 20 percent of Americans perceive the Democratic Party as patriotic, compared to a third who view the Republican Party that way. This perception is exacerbated by the differing understandings of patriotism between the parties, with Democrats engaging in constructive criticism and Republicans typically emphasizing national superiority.
- Kinzinger aimed to convey to Republicans that Democrats act out of patriotism and that their criticisms of Trump are not solely partisan. He hoped this understanding might lead Republicans to reconsider the events surrounding the Capitol riot and Trump’s response. However, the positive impact of his argument on Harris's candidacy may be subtle.
