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.

    Grateful to be born here and it’s the safest place to be if another World War pops off or something. The older I get, the more appealing getting a secluded cabin in the woods or a tropical island sounds. I am ashamed to be American.

      New Zealand would like a word.

        True haha, but they’re pretty close to China and Japan. Not an ideal place to be when China goes crazy (er).

        We’ve got something like the largest 3 navies and air forces in the world between all of our branches, and the most cutting edge military tech. Also, after these Congressional hearings over the past week or so, we apparently have alien tech on our side too lmao.

        Personally, I’m halfway hoping for a civil war or, preferably, the South just splits off into it’s own shithole again. But I wouldn’t mind seeing us finish what Sherman started.
