Why Don’t Democrats Celebrate America?

Time and again, the Democratic Party’s elites show through their actions, policies, and statements that they are united in opposition to traditional American life, values, and culture.

That’s nothing new: it’s been this way for a generation. But it’s worsening. Today, it’s more brazen and openly revolutionary. We all saw a clear example of this at the recent State of the Union Address.

“It does not make sense to me,” President Trump said about it during remarks to the Republican Members Conference at Doral, Florida, on March 9. Trump noted that he is perplexed by the Democrats’ behavior. He cannot understand why they refused to stand for the U.S. Army helicopter pilot, the mother whose young daughter was beaten and murdered by a thug, or a 100-year-old veteran who was a Navy fighter pilot and shot down four Soviet-piloted MiGs during the Korean War. To be so unmoved as to decline to celebrate these great Americans honored in that venue, and to feel no pressure from the party’s base to do so, is remarkable.

The Democrats sat there, stone-faced. They behaved the same way during Trump’s 2025 address. This reveals a lot about the current state and tone of the modern Democratic Party. They do not like America; in fact, they and their voters may hate it. The party has shifted far to the left, to the point where great Democrats like Senators Zell Miller and Henry “Scoop” Jackson, or President John F. Kennedy, wouldn’t even recognize it.
