Their tweets on what should be a celebratory holiday highlight the widening divide. Here’s the Dems response to a GOP tweet:
— Democrats (@TheDemocrats) July 4, 2025
Happy July 4th, DNC! Jeez.
They also put out dueling statements. Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley wished America a happy 249th birthday:
On July 4, 1776, the American colonies came together to declare their independence, opposing oppression and creating the foundation for one of the world’s greatest experiments in self-governance.
Independence Day celebrates the birth of our nation and serves as a reminder of the remarkable gift of freedom that embodies the American spirit. As we gather with loved ones, we pay tribute to the brave individuals who paved the way for this aspiring nation with their noble sacrifices. May our freedoms be blessed, and may America be blessed as well.
Compare that message with the one from the melancholy DNC:
The Democratic National Committee, however, released a July 4 statement criticizing President Donald Trump and Republicans for passing the tax-cut and spending bill, stating it was “putting the American Dream out of reach.”
“America should be the land of opportunity but under Donald Trump, the American dream is dying,” the DNC said.
The patriotism divide has shown up in polling, as RedState’s Becky Noble and Nick Arama have reported:
When Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and spent the subsequent four years trying to ruin the country, my patriotism did not evaporate, and I loved my country as much as ever. Democrats, however, have a long history of denigrating our accomplishments and downplaying the successes of the Great Experiment. When they don’t get their way, they spend most of their time droning on about how awful we are as a people and as a nation and how over half of us are “garbage” and “deplorable.”
It’s a losing strategy in the long run, in my opinion, because more and more Americans are finding out it’s cool to be patriotic again.
That’s proving true today all across the country. ‘Merica is back, and too bad for the doomsday crowd if they don’t like it. They can put in earplugs tonight and watch re-runs of “The West Wing.”
