"New York Post": Americans cheer Trump's fiery patriotism and

President Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night was a powerful statement about his second term and a stunning political spectacle. And what a difference a speech makes. "America is back," he said.

He repeated this for more than 90 minutes. Trump is on a mission to “revive the just cause of American freedom,” to usher in a new era of “American miracles,” and to plant the American flag on Mars.

In stark contrast, his enthusiasm and message were a far cry from Joe Biden's muddled speeches and Kamala Harris' fake laughs. In another, bleaker universe, President Harris might have been the one to speak Tuesday night, but in fact, it was the guests in the balcony who gave the speech its greatest power.

The mother and sister of Laken Riley, a nursing student who went on a run and was killed by an illegal immigrant. The wife and daughters of Corey Comperatore, the firefighter who lost his life shielding them from bullets at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Elliston Berry, a 15-year-old girl who was the victim of online harassment through “deep fakes.” Stephanie Diller, the wife of police officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed during a traffic stop in Queens by a repeat offender. “The strong do what they want, and the weak suffer what they must,” Thucydides said. The Democrats did whatever they wanted. The suffering didn’t just fall on the weakest, on women and children. It fell on the strongest, like Jonathan Diller. Like Roberto Ortiz, the U.S. Navy veteran who was shot by cartels while patrolling the Rio Grande River.

The Democrats have abused the trust of the American people. Trump wants to restore the social contract. They are so disconnected from reality that they still don't understand why Trump is doing this. The answer is simple and complex at the same time. Trump is a patriot. He loves his country. He wants Americans to be happy. These are simple ideas, too simple for college professors and CNN analysts to understand. But they are essential.

At heart, patriotism is a passion, an irrationality that bureaucrats fear and dictators desire. Democrats have suppressed, censored, and stigmatized this natural passion. Trump understands that a nation is one big family. We rise or fall together. It’s no wonder that within three weeks of his inauguration, polls showed that for the first time in 20 years, a majority of Americans believe the country is “on the right track.” That’s the only indicator that matters. It’s not about party loyalty, no matter what they say. It’s about the fate of the nation. As George Orwell said, “My country, right, or left.”

A government is a bureaucratic machine. A “society” is a sociological abstraction. Fireworks and air shows are fun, but they are merely symbols. A nation is made up of people. The American nation is made up of a third of a billion individuals, each pursuing his own interests, but also, and most importantly, all on this journey together. We should not be ashamed of these simple and important truths. They are the wisdom of the ages. They are the founding truths of constitutions and nations.

They connect the core of our bonds, family and faith, to the wider circles of duty and responsibility that hold a nation together. To see what happens when government ignores these realities in favor of ideology, look at the disaster that is England. Mass immigration and political correctness have destroyed the bond between government and citizens. In January, a YouGov poll found that 38% of Britons under 40 would refuse to sign up to fight in the event of a world war. The Democrats have imposed a similar madness on the American people: a denial of the basics.

Trump repeated simple truths: The world is a ruthless place. A country cannot exist without borders. A nation will disintegrate if illegal immigration continues. A democracy cannot serve its citizens if non-citizens can vote and the courts are corrupt. A man cannot become a woman. If these foundations are repaired, the American people will do the rest.

Trump called for “a nation of dreamers, warriors and survivors” to embrace the future. There is a nation to rebuild, a world to repair, and not a moment to waste.
