Over Independence Day weekend, Democrats held nothing back when articulating their opinions about the United States.

Democrat Rep. Cori Bush tweeted out that July 4th celebrations are only for white individuals because black individuals are supposedly "not free"; meanwhile, the New York Times put out a story alleging that proud displays of the U.S. flag are politically polarizing and no longer unifying.

Many other leftists also made known their hatred and disdain for America; this comes despite consistent, habitual steps America's taken over decades and centuries to evolve into a more perfect union.

Yesterday, businessman and son of former President Trump, Eric Trump, explained that leftists have initiated a "war" against U.S. patriotism.

Eric Trump on Democrats and American patriotism

During an interview with Newsmax, Eric Trump spoke about some of the anti-American displays engendered by Democrats over the holiday weekend. Trump noted the viral video of college kids professing their shame of being Americans; this happened in addition to the shutdown of fireworks at South Dakota's Mount Rushmore.

Eric Trump then remarked that Democrats' "war" against the United States flag and the nation itself is a significant reason why the former president ran for office. Trump later noted that if many of the people who profess their loathing for America could see other nations, they'd have a different perspective.

Later, the former first son explained that many of Democrats' inflammatory remarks about America are distraction techniques, amid the failure of President Biden. Inflation, crime increases nationwide, and a Southern border in peril are merely a few examples of the aforementioned failures.

Is patriotism now political?

The New York Times' article about the American flag makes the case that love of country is now political. This piece even stated that individuals who fly U.S. flags on the back of pickup trucks and whatnot are likely Republicans; this implies that only Republicans and conservatives can love America.

Across the board, the left and the right had largely different reactions to July 4th weekend. Not every leftist tweeted or spoke out against Independence Day; however, none of the folks who did were Republicans.

On and off of social media, conservatives celebrated Independence Day weekend; this, of course, entailed proud displays of the American flag.
