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.
That’s pathetic.
If you are so one dimensional to where you can’t separate politics (which I am sure it a large part of this) with everything else, then that is a YOU problem. There are plenty of things that the US needs to fix, but show me one country that doesn’t. The fact that young people are too lazy or too out of touch to understand that is pathetic.
This is a marker of increased civic engagement among young people. How is that a demonstration of laziness?
