Vice President JD Vance The message in the new documentary echoes the direction of the Trump administration’s recent actions, and the rest of the world will be wise to note.
He spoke at an exclusive screening of the film adapter on Tuesday night Rod Dreher’s “No Lies” – First-hand interviews with civilian figures throughout the postwar period, embracing Christian values to outspoken totalitarian regimes and efforts.

Vance says After the writer asked for an interview with his book, Hillbilly Elegy, he met Dreher until the current vice president was a fixed figure on the political stage.
Before boarding a flight to the U.S. on a British holiday, Vance submitted written answers to Dreher and hoped for the best answers – his book hovers over 1,000 on the Amazon list. By the time he landed in the United States, Dreher’s article pushed it toward No. 16.
“Hillbilly Elegy” later inspired a Ron Howard film and helped make Vance a nationally recognized character. He will continue to win a seat in the Senate and eventually become vice president.

Vance said Dreher’s books and movies were interviewed by the Soviet bloc and even among the famous dissidents in England, a lesson for those of Christian and democratic values, not to lose hope and “never stop fighting”.
He said that without the courage to face the competitive collective thinking of the government, the traditionalist West cannot “restore our civilization…rebuild prosperity and opportunity” [or] Rebuilding the society where we teach children important virtues and skills; contrary to trying to tear down our children, that’s what I think our education system often does. ”
The vice president added that without saying a loud voice, those seeking freedom cannot defeat left-wing foreign policy collective thinking, which has become an “animation concept” for too many Western countries.
“Unless we have the courage to tell the truth, we will not solve any of these problems unless we have the courage to make the truth come true.”

One thing that traditionalists struggle right, Vance said is to make despair.
“The idea is because things are not great in 2020, because things don’t always go to our way in elections, so we will give the country we love, the civilizations we love are always on the negative trajectory,” he said.
“And I say, this is not a criticism of Rhodes, because I myself sometimes feel at the lowest moments of American politics that maybe this country is just not heading in the right direction.”
“But I think what we’ve learned over the past few months is that the American people and I think the Western people are more resilient than our elites have.”
Vance said, “Not a lie” – a sentence created by the Soviet exiled Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his famous orator – meant to maintain the same optimism as the roots of Judeo Christian theology and therefore the roots of American tradition.
“You have the Western nations call on their government to back down on issues such as immigration and religious freedom in ways we haven’t seen in 20 or 30 years, if we’ve seen it,” he said.
“If we keep fighting, we keep working, we keep believing, and we keep pursuing the right values we know, I do believe we will see great things happening…the whole West. I know the president knows that.”
Vance says In the first few months of the fledgling Trump administration, information that has proven “non-lie” has been proven.
“We have come from a country that will harass, threaten and investigate and even arrest pro-protesters, where we encourage pro-pro-proactive activists to do everything they can to convince them,” Vance said.

“A few months ago, we had social media censorship. We threatened people’s right to express themselves freely because there was no saying what Silicon Valley tech companies told them to say,” Vance continued.
“Now, I believe we have more freedom of speech on the internet today than we may have in 10 or 15 years. So we are making progress.”
