They vote in droves against prohibiting transgendered &#8220;women&#8221; from competing in women&#8217;s sports. They argue against initiatives to deport illegal aliens. They seem to be opposed to real efforts to minimize &#8220;welfare leaching&#8221;. One common thread among initiatives considered an abomination to the Democrats? These initiatives contribute to making America great.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <strong> From The Federalist:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Democrat respondents&#8217; pride appeared to be more affected by which party held the White House, a factor which may play a role in the recent plunge. The first and second Trump administrations coincide with both major dips in Democrat patriotism. In response to these statistics, Brad Smith, law professor at Capital University Law School, suggested in a post on X that Democrats&#8217; pride hinges more in their success as a party than consistent loyalty to the nation as a whole.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">??

Even among Republicans, younger people expressed consistently less pride in being American than the generations prior. While 77% of Democrats and 92% of Republicans among the Greatest and Silent Generations responded that they were proud to be American from 2016-2025, only 24% and 65% of Democrats and Republicans, respectively, in Generation Z responded likewise.<\/p>\n<p>While Democrat respondents&#8217; pride in being American has consistently been lower than Republicans&#8217;, the severe plunge from 80% to 36% in a ten-year span is novel and striking. This shift in sentiment is manifesting culturally as well. Over the past several years, popular culture has repeatedly downplayed and undermined national pride, instead advertising a critical stance.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times published an article in 2023 with the headline, &#8220;No More Sparklers for These Folks,&#8221; anecdotally listing the downsides of celebrating the Fourth of July both ideologically and practically. A related sentiment is echoed in the Reader&#8217;s Digest article, &#8220;I&#8217;m a Black American &#8212; Here&#8217;s Why I&#8217;m Not Celebrating the Fourth of July,&#8221; published in 2024. Similarly, elite academic institutions have increasingly promoted anti-American rhetoric in their teaching and literature, such as Harvard Gazette&#8217;s article, &#8220;Why America Can&#8217;t Escape it&#8217;s Racist Roots.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not only has popular culture and academia betrayed patriotic sentiment; the Democrat platform has joined these institutions in anti-Americanism, advocating open borders, critical race theory, gender ideology, and socialist policies. It is not surprising that between mainstream culture and their own party&#8217;s platform, their constituents lack pride in being American.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jones, J.
