Duggar & Bates Families Blasted, Pretending To Be Patriotic?
Are the Duggar and Bates families only pretending to be patriotic? Fans are calling their actions into question and putting them on blast. Keep reading to see what sparked this discussion and find out what fans think of it all.
If you’re a fan of either family, you may know that they are alike in some ways. Kelly Jo and Gil Bates have 19 kids, as do Jim Bob and Michelle. They both homeschooled their kids and raised them in a somewhat sheltered, conservative environment.
Many of the kids from each family are still friends today. Some of the guys are involved in the Medic Corps, which is a non-profit dedicated to disaster relief. Carlin Bates Stewart and Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth are besties and typically see each other a couple of times each year.
Another similarity is that both families also had TV shows.
Now, their series have all come to an end. But fans are still paying attention to their social media posts. After reflecting on their typical social media activity, some fans are questioning just how patriotic the two families actually are.
Now, some are convinced that it’s all an act.
So, what’s all of this about?
Fans accuse the Duggar and Bates families of pretending to be patriotic.
In a new anonymous confession on the Duggar Bates Confessions page on Instagram, one fan called out both families for pretending to be patriotic.
The fan noted that the families are often posting content on Memorial Day and Independence Day. They think that the two families seem very patriotic in this sense.
However, they pointed out that “none of them have ever served in the armed forces.” They then said that this “annoys” them and that their patriotism should encourage at least one person to serve.
In the comments section of the post, other fans agreed with this sentiment. Someone said, “I have to agree with you. There would have been AT LEAST one.”
Another thought that one of the kids could have served to get away from their family’s strict beliefs. However, that hasn’t been the case so far.
One fan teased, “They prefer to play pretend soldiers at alert camp.”
So, do you agree with fans that the Duggar and Bates families are just pretending to be patriotic? Or do you think they truly are? Share your thoughts in the comments section below. And come back to TV Shows Ace for more news about both families.

Could it be that the Bates and Duggars take the Ten Commandments very seriously and don’t want to subject themselves to breaking the “Thou Shalt not Kill” commandment?
