A statesman out in a storm with a kite. And the biggest story of all, the \u201cAmerican Dream,\u201d echoing across states and oceans.<\/p>\n<p>The United States became the country that produced the most powerful storytelling engines in human history \u2014 the American frontier, Hollywood and Madison Avenue. And it sat at the epicenter of the rise of the internet and social media \u2014 platforms that confused and jumbled information even as they empowered previously muzzled groups to join the fray with different takes on the American experience.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday marked 250 years of the Great Experiment. And even in these fragmented days, the American story means authority and influence. It means power over hearts and minds in a place where the national tale \u2014 and the question of who gets to tell it \u2014 has long prevailed. And, as is clear these days, it is the victors who write \u2014 and control \u2014 the history.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Some years ago, frontier historian Richard Slotkin put it bluntly. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing organic about the United States. It\u2019s an invented country,\u201d he told The Associated Press. \u201cAnd if we stop telling the American story, we\u2019re just a bunch of folks. \u2026 You have to keep adding new chapters to the story and making the story make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And in politics and show business, in schools and in the history exhibited at tourist attractions, Americans do that, at a frenetic pace \u2014 sometimes, perhaps, too frantically or intensely for their own good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the very beginning, story has ruled<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The United States today is home to countless stories; together they illustrate what America has been, is and could be. But when it comes to telling the American story in the 2020s, the field of play is crowded, contentious and brimming with misinformation and disinformation. From schools to political arenas, from news to entertainment to history books, the battle rages.<\/p>\n<p>Is it \u201cThis Land Is Your Land,\u201d \u201cGod Bless America\u201d or \u201cCourtesy of the Red, White and Blue\u201d? Is it Sean Penn or James Woods? Tucker Carlson or Jimmy Kimmel? A bald eagle or a pride flag on your T-shirt? A pickup truck or an EV? The choices help define what kind of American you are and aspire to be.<\/p>\n<p>Do you buy flag trinkets at Walmart or do you express your patriotism in a different way? Do you sing along with the National Anthem at ballgames? Do you share memes about how great America is \u2014 or how awful? Do you watch old World War II movies with reverence? Each time you do any of those, you\u2019re helping to propel the American story.<\/p>\n<p>Are you singer-songwriter Jesse Welles, progressive and openly patriotic in the tradition of Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen, using flag imagery and pointedly critical lyrics at his concerts to show that he and those who believe as he does refuse to be excluded from the American story? \u201cGood morning, America. Good evening, America. I love ya,\u201d he likes to sing.<\/p>\n<p>Or are you Donald Trump, a master of brand-building narrative. who is vigorously reframing the story America tells about itself. Adore him or despise him, it\u2019s hard to deny that the American narrative at home and abroad has his indelible stamp. He knows his power over the tale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe left has warped, distorted, and defiled the American story with deceptions, falsehoods, and lies,\u201d Trump said shortly before losing the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s version of the story, though, often focuses not so much on the nation as on Donald Trump himself.<\/p>\n<p>With an avalanche of superlatives and self-regard, he has made his own story front and center \u2014 both metaphorically and literally. He wants to be on Mount Rushmore. His face might end up on currency while he\u2019s still alive. It will be on this year\u2019s anniversary edition of the U.S. passport. His face is all over Washington, D.C., as are the stamps of his presence \u2014 from the triumph arch to the controversial redo of the reflecting pool to the equally contentious $400 million ballroom he is adding to the White House. Whatever else these are, they are efforts to commandeer pieces of the American story.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a pattern he has repeated throughout his life \u2014 casting himself as the embodiment of American success. Even this month\u2019s celebration itself featured a competition of what story to tell, and Trump\u2019s thumb on the scale.<\/p>\n<p>There was America250, a bipartisan effort, created by Congress. And there was Freedom 250, a Trump administration-backed version of the celebration far more aligned with the MAGA version of American history. They are, in effect, a wrestling match over which America is amplified. That was underscored by the musical acts that withdrew from Freedom 250 concerts, saying they\u2019d become too political.<\/p>\n<p>The story changed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The flag is a useful case study for American storytelling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The American flag sits at the center of the national story, a piece of fabric that contains multitudes (\u201cgave proof through the night, that our flag was still there.\u201d). Always has, ever since the tale of Betsy Ross.<\/p>\n<p>Its glorification \u2014 everywhere from ballparks to solemn military events to the aisles of Target \u2014 summons people to contemplate country and purpose. Its desecration under the principle of free speech \u2014 also an important part of the tale \u2014 is used by some to make passionate points and denounced by others as ugly and treasonous.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprising, since the flag is a physical embodiment of the American story \u2014 as Jesse Welles demonstrates at his shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an extraordinarily potent symbol for anybody \u2014 left, right or center,\u201d Ken Burns, the acclaimed documentary filmmaker, said. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting when we have this assault on traditional democratic institutions that the people who are out in the streets protesting have sort of reclaimed \u2014 and they never should have relinquished \u2014 the American flag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the story of the flag, and how it\u2019s used, varies based on who you are. Republicans and older white Americans? More likely to fly it, wear it as clothing or, in Pete Hegseth\u2019s case, wear it as a pocket square. Democrats and Black Americans? Not so much. So concluded an AP-NORC poll last month.<\/p>\n<p>John Baick, a historian at Western New England University, sees less flag imagery in Trump\u2019s second term than in his first; the intense focus on Trump himself may have crowded it out. Baick suggests that the use of storytelling in the political arena today impacts, as always, the larger sense of what the United States is. He sees it fragmenting \u2014 as evidenced by the use of the flag.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s just become a muddled mess,\u201d Baick says. \u201cI think it\u2019s just going to be almost the breakdown of a national system and states will figure it out, cities will figure it out, individuals will figure it out. They\u2019ll put out their flags, but \u2026 they\u2019ll tell their own stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This national story is not close to complete. As Fox News business journalist Maria Bartiromo told her family\u2019s story recently, she referred to \u201cthis young nation.\u201d Places like China and Russia have millennia of tales to build upon. The United States has less than 400 even if you go back to its very beginnings.<\/p>\n<p>And so the American story continues. Where will it go next? And who will tell it most persuasively?<\/p>\n<p>Ted Anthony has been writing about American culture since 1990.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3333\">Democrats\u2019 narrow path to Senate majority gets rockier as Platner faces sexual assault allegation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3335\">US revokes license authorizing sale of Iranian oil after 3 tankers struck in Strait of Hormuz<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3337\">The year in review: Influential people who have died in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DETROIT | From the beginning, many decades before it became the United States, American society was founded not on hundreds of years of common culture but on something less tangible: a series of stories that it told itself over and over \u2014 full of truth, tall tales and outright lies \u2014 until it willed itself [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1101,1102,149,152,1103,1104],"tags":[4948,5379,45,858,5380,5381],"class_list":["post-3339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-0-no-apple-publish","category-1gridmagazine","category-a-town-magazine","category-sentinel-lifestyle","category-uncategorized","category-z-other-galley","tag-american-flag","tag-american-society","tag-donald-trump","tag-hollywood","tag-ken-burns","tag-madison-avenue"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
