In ages past, Democrats were the party of the blue-collar man, fighting for fair wages for American workers against the interests of elite capitalists who weren’t particularly concerned about anything more than making a buck, by any means necessary. Nowadays, the Democratic Party has become some kind of post-national, identity-less, amorphous political blob, ashamed of the heritage and history of the United States and actively fighting against the interests of the American people.
The slaughter of America’s young via abortion, the replacement of the American people via mass immigration, the defense of illegal immigrants at the cost of American lives and security, a crusade to combat perceived discrimination against ethnic and sexual minorities and to punish straight, white men for being straight, white, and male, the denigration of America’s historic traditions and customs — these are the platform planks of the Democratic Party of today.
It stands to reason then that the supporters of this non-American — even anti-American — radicalized movement share at least some of the same principles, including an absence of national pride. Data backs this up. An Elon University national poll conducted last week found that, overall, 48% of respondents say that they are “very” proud to be American, 20% say that they are “somewhat” proud, 15% say that they are indifferent on the matter, and a total of 17% say that they are not proud to be American. Among Democrats, however, only about one quarter (26%) of voters say that they are “very” proud to be American, 22% say that they are “somewhat” proud, and a total of 30% say that they are not proud to be American. Additionally, more than half (55%) of Democrats say that they would rather live somewhere else than the U.S.
