DECEIT!
By the way, neither the Breitbart article nor the Wallethub article uses the word "liberal" anywhere. And the Breitbart article's use of Republican/Democratic control of statehouses and legislators as the indicator for redness/blueness of states, and attributing it to the Wallethub article, is deceitful. The latter article was quite clear that they were using the 2016 Presidential vote. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 13:11, 25 July 2019 (EDT)

There is deceit in both the Conservapedia article and the Breitbart article. The Breitbart article<ref>Rodriguez, Katherine (June 26, 2019). [https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/26/study-3-least-patriotic-states-run-democrats/ Study: 3 Least-Patriotic States Run by Democrats]. ''Breitbart News''. Retrieved June 26, 2019.</ref> claims that the Wallethub article says that the 3 least patriotic states are controlled by Democrats. But that Wallethub article,<ref>Adam McCann [https://wallethub.com/edu/most-patriotic-states/13680/ 2019’s Most Patriotic States in America] Retrieved July 24, 2019.</ref> says nothing of the kind. It uses the voting in the 2016 Presidential election, but it says nothing about statehouse of legislature control. The Breitbart article also engages in deceitful cherry-picking by summarizing the top and bottom 3 states, while summarizing the top and bottom 4 states would get a different result.
We at Conservapedia of course have no control over the integrity of Breitbart. But we do have rules that say that "Everything you post must be true and verifiable." Saying "A 2019 WalletHub survey found that the three most unpatriotic states were completely controlled by liberal Democrats" is wrong. Citing a dishonest web site elsewhere in support of that false statement does not make it right.
