Americans have grown less proud of their country’s history or the way its democracy works over the past decade, according to a new AP-NORC poll.
Americans’ pride in the U.S. on several key attributes has dropped since 2017 — including the nation’s military and its political influence around the globe — according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. This poll was conducted in April, as the United States and Iran fought over the Strait of Hormuz in a prolonged war that started with the U.S. and Israel launching strikes on Iran.
New Gallup polling also finds that only 53% of U.S. adults are “extremely” or “very” proud to be an American, the lowest reading in the trend dating back to 2001.
we’re a bunch of obnoxious assholes what’s to be proud of
To be fair that was true before, we just didn’t see the full picture before. People of color been living like this the entire time.
People are realizing they are free-range slaves and the institutions of both government and religion are false paths built from ideas that were once authentic. Both being used as conquering techniques to own control of humanity, not necessarily protect, serve, or secure an honest future for it.
Humanity isn’t a godly experience anymore, it’s a business, and the people got so manipulated they are proud enough to kill to be a form of owned cattle.
If there is an awakening socially maybe we will end up seeing the issue stems not from America alone, but western culture as a whole. America is just like the selfish arrogant rich kid that made it blatantly obvious.
