We’ve seen this century how the two major political parties in this country have evolved vastly different views of the future for America. On this Independence Day, their vision for the country couldn’t be more stark as Republicans are celebrating our history and our promise, while despondent Democrats are weeping about the decline of the American dream.
Their tweets on what should be a celebratory holiday highlight the widening divide. Here’s the Dems response to a GOP tweet:
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 united to declare their independence, rejecting tyranny and laying the foundation for the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever known.
Independence Day marks the birth of our nation and reminds us of the extraordinary gift of liberty that defines the American spirit. As we gather with friends and family, we honor the courageous men and women who paved the way for this shining city on a hill with their honorable sacrifices. God bless our freedoms, and God bless America.
Compare that message with the one from the melancholy DNC:
The Democratic National Committee, in contrast, issued a July 4 press release that lambasted President Donald Trump and Republicans for passing the tax-cut and spending megabill and "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:

The GOP today:
The DNC's X account meanwhile is filled with misery and bitterness over the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, and even the posts that are slightly patriotic are combative and loaded with innuendo. This exemplifies the vast majority of tweets on their timeline on Independence Day:

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.”
We at RedState love America and we’re not afraid to show it.
