From Presidents Franklin Roosevelt through John F. Kennedy, the Democratic Party projected patriotic confidence, fully comfortable celebrating America’s greatness alongside Republicans. But around 2014, coinciding with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, that began to change.

They are, many of them, needlessly and ideologically ashamed of being American.
It was not always this way.
