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.
Everything is shit because our leaders don’t feel any common identity with the people. They don’t feel any need to represent us. We need more nationalism, not less. I don’t see how we could have any less nationalism than we already have. The soul of the USA has been torn out and stomped under corporate boots.
“soul of USA” as if USA isnt doing exactly what it was meant for, what it has always stood for
