‘Patriotism has become partisan’: America’s 250th celebrations ‘muted’
Centre of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker says "patriotism has become partisan” in the US. “I think most people would say that this year's celebration [US 250th Anniversary] is quite muted compared to 1976 when we had the bicentennial,” Mr Hinderaker told Sky News host James Morrow. “It was highly festive; everybody was on board,” he said. “I think the difference is… patriotism has become partisan. “The Democrats are not participating in observances of the 250th at the national level.”
