Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.

Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.

18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.

    I second that and I’m 54. America has given us precious little to be proud of and the “American Exceptionalism” folks seem willfully ignorant.

    I consider myself an Oregonian first and foremost.

      As a non-American, I think the country still gives the world something. People may bitch and moan the military industrial complex, but I am glad American taxpayers sacrifice their own money to keep Chinese imperialism from devouring my country.

      I also think the American tech sector brings a lot to the table.

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cesspool of a nation, but it still produces useful goods and services.

        You are from Taiwan by any Chance? I’m tempted to agree with you in that region, but I am not sold that the US is an overall net-positive if we also look into places like the middle-east and Latin America.
