America is facing a patriotism crisis, and the numbers are crystal clear. Republicans proudly wave the Stars and Stripes, embracing the label of patriotism with gusto. Meanwhile, only half of Democrats dare to call themselves patriots. Why do they hesitate? Because for them, loving their country is conditional, tied to who sits in the Oval Office.
In every generation, this divide grows wider. The younger you are, the less likely you are to swell with pride at being American. Gen Z and Millennials seem to view patriotism like an outdated relic. Kids these days have been spoon-fed a steady diet of leftist ideology, painting the country as a hotbed of racism and injustice, and we’re left picking up the pieces.

Democrats, always quick to point fingers, have let their love for country dip to an all-time low. They prefer protests and apologies over patriotic pride. The contrast is stark. On one side, conservatives are cheering for America; on the other, liberals are busy rewriting history to suit their narrative.
Look at the numbers. While Republican pride is on the rise, Democrats have slipped into a grim new reality. It’s not just about celebrating the Fourth of July. It’s about the simple idea of being proud of the freedoms and opportunities America provides. Yet for the left, those values only shine when they hold the reins of power.
As the nation approaches its 250th birthday, what’s the endgame here? Will Americans let partisan politics dictate their sense of national pride? Or will they wake up and realize that loving your country shouldn’t hinge on who’s in charge? Perhaps the real question is: when did loving America become so controversial?
