Democrats emphasized military might and love of country at their convention, aiming to reclaim patriotism from Republicans who have dominated this narrative.
Democrats wielded placards that simply said 'USA,' contrasting sharply with Republicans, who have long branded patriotism as their own territory.
Peter Loge noted that liberals hesitated to embrace symbols of patriotism because Republicans have made it a marker of their identity.
The convention showcased military veterans to reinforce a sense of pride and assertion of distinctly American values among Democratic speakers.
