From Fox News: As President Donald Trump is preparing for Independence Day celebrations, some Democrats will be taking to the streets to protest on America’s birthday as polls indicate a decreased sense of patriotism from those on the Left.
Democrats across the country are organizing protests and boycotts on the 4th of July to make their voices heard that they do not agree with the direction the country is heading. A new Fox News poll showed that only 36% of Democrats say they are proud of the United States today, compared to 85% of Republicans expressing pride in their country. Now, in what some are calling the “No Kings 2.0” protests, Democrats are banding together in several states to lay out their grievances.
The Women’s March, whose mission is to “transform everyday women into feminists,” is calling on protesters to join their “Free America Weekend.”
The Free America website declares:
“Together, we must ‘Free America’ from the grip of greedy billionaires who rig the system for themselves.
“Let’s stop the rich and powerful from gambling our future away. Free America from poverty and end the rigged system where the wealthy live large while the middle class foots the bill.
“Everyone should be able to afford food, rent, health care, and a decent life. Free America from arbitrary firings and a flood of unlawful orders. No one should be subjected to authoritarians overwhelming us with policies designed to spread fear and control.”
The website gets on to state:
“Free America from the grip of hate and the politics of fear.
“Everyone deserves to live safely, love who they love, and be treated with respect. Free America now—to protect our freedoms before they’re gone. We need fair elections, the right to vote and protest, and real justice for all.”
In an Instagram video, John Schwarz, founder of The People’s Union USA, called for an unpatriotic boycott during all of July.
“This is the most important boycott of the year. It’s not about politics, it’s about principle,” he said.
Schwartz called on Americans to cancel plans to attend parades and fireworks shows.
“It’s about walking away from the illusion they’ve built and reclaiming what it actually means to be free,” he said, adding that “there is no independence to celebrate right now,” arguing the Constitution is being “trampled on.” The People’s Union USA founder has said the boycott must happen because people love America “too much to lie anymore.”
