Just half of Democrats consider themselves patriots, compared to 91% of Republicans, poll reveals
NY Post ^ | 7/04/25 | Ryan King

Red, white and blue is becoming red vs. blue.

As Americans celebrate Independence Day, patriotism itself is becoming a source of division, according to a new poll shared exclusively with The Post.

The survey conducted by New Jersey-based GOP firm National Research Inc. found that 91% of self-identified Republicans call themselves patriots, compared to just 50% of Democrats.

The poll showed a near-identical schism among 2024 voters, with 90% of those who backed President Trump identifying as patriots compared to 55% of former Vice President Kamala Harris supporters.

Among self-described conservatives, 87% deemed themselves a patriot, compared to 51% of liberals, per the poll.

National Research founder Adam Geller, a Republican pollster and strategist whose resume includes work for Trump’s 2016 campaign, told The Post that while the results may stem in part from “a little leftover saltiness” from the election, “we need to have a country where even if you don’t love the president, you’re still proud to be an American — you still hold those values.”

Liberals have convinced themselves that they only hate Donald Trump, when in reality they really hate everybody but themselves. This is especially true for people who have no stake in the future, like cat ladies and homosexuals who have no children or grandchildren.

That's why it's so easy for them to think that it's a good idea to run up a debt that can't realistically be paid off, that's it's a good idea to import poverty and disease, and so on.

And their motto? "All this fuss about a damn flag."

Democrats get more disgusting and anti-American by the day (if that is even possible anymore).

The offer nothing but anger, division and hate

This is interesting, because I would expect them to claim to be patriots. Guess not.

A very Happy 4th, NW. Knowing there’s still another 3 1/2 years of Trump is making me ecstatic over this one.

The Fightin’ Side Of Me

Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin’ bad about the way we have to live here in this country
Harpin’ on the wars we fight, an’ gripin’ ‘bout the way things oughta be
An’ I don’t mind ‘em switchin’ sides, an’ standin’ up for things they believe in
When they’re runnin’ down my country, man
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down a way of life our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

I read about some squirrely guy who claims he just don’t believe in fightin’
An’ I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein’ free
They love our milk an’ honey, but they preach about some other way of livin’
When they’re runnin’ down my country, hoss
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down a way of life our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down a way of life our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

So they aren’t patriots. They’re just here to suck up the benefits that only America can provide.

They need to leave.

Some black lady was questioned in a man-on-the-street interview on Newsmax. She doesn’t think America is a good place to live. Questioner asked where she would rather live. “Africa.” Yet here she is.

I’m pretty old now, but I even got this indoctrination in the 70’s.

It wasn’t as extreme and overpowering yet.
