Most Democrats don't call them out on it, so it's become "correct" in the minds of many Americans. If Republicans were told regularly to use the correct pronounciation, they would just laugh and continue mispronouncing it to "own the libs." The instinct to behave like a grade school bully no matter what your age has become a feature of most Republicans.
