Americans celebrate Independence Day. We honor the special nature of our country with fireworks and parades, and honor all those who have worked so hard to preserve it for so long.
What are some on the left doing? Spending the day protesting, trying to do a "No Kings 2.0." Why? Because they weren't able to get rid of the democratically elected president with just one day of ranting? Independence Day already is "No Kings Day," and we haven't had a king since we dumped the British. So, having protests against a king we don't have seems supremely silly. But that's the left.
We're seeing these kinds of protests because the Democrats are in the grips of the radical leftists who attack our system of government, some of whom are even against enforcing the basic rule of law, such as when it comes to illegal aliens. The problem? These voices aren't just on the fringes, but they are the animating force in the Democratic Party.
Watch: Zohran Mamdani's New Comments About Billionaires, ICE and Taxes Have Jaws Dropping
CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enten, pointed out how bad it's gotten with the Democrats in a shocking poll. He said the percentage of Democrats who are "proud to be Americans" has fallen through the floor.
The number went from 80 percent in 2015 to 36 percent now in 2025, according to Gallup, falling by more than half.
Enten said a lot depended on age, and Gen Z. He said the number of those Dems who were proud to be Americans was lower at 24 percent than those who had "little or no pride" at 32 percent.
Meanwhile, Republicans are proud to be American, and that hasn't changed between 2015 and 2025, going from 90 percent to 92 percent.

That's the effect of propaganda versus reality. Gen Z has been told America is evil and oppressive, so some of them are not operating in reality. That's how you get the ascendancy of people like Zohran Mamdani in New York City. They've also been lied to about President Donald Trump being "Hitler" for the last ten years.
The difference it Republicans are wedded to supporting the country and its principles. Their patriotism is not dependent on whether they have control or not, whereas Democrats throw fits when they are not in power. Republicans were proud of being American, even with Barack Obama in power.
When Democrats are not proud to be Americans, that also adversely impacts their policies, which don't put America or American principles first. It's why you get things like throwing open the doors to illegal aliens, and why they can't figure out how to appeal to Americans, and are being rejected by most who are proud to be Americans.
The difference in how Democrats vs Republicans feel about their country is crazy.

Republicans kept their patriotism regardless of how well their preferred candidate or policies were doing.
Love this country…it’s the best one in the world to be a citizen of. https://t.co/7YBX5eTJOl
