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.
Wow…never seen such an ignorance of modern American history. Are you forgetting all the “interventions” the US did since the end of WW2, especially in South America where despite the supposed “war on drugs” the CIA teamed up with drug cartels, arming them, funding them, even allowing them to smuggle drugs into the USA to fund rebel fighters to overthrow governments? How it massively increased it’s prison population and then allowed them to be used as slave labour by corporations, actively got minorities hooked on drugs, used it’s own National Guard to kill protesting university students at Kent State?
Look up CIA involvement in Indonesia.
Right, i’m totally unaware of any of those things because otherwise I could not possibly have any aspirations or good feelings about the higher goals of many people in this nation have. Martin Luther King Jr. was just a fool if he even existed because this country is so horrible.
Truly, the fact that I still live in this country means that I am as bad as every one of those things that you described, because I haven’t killed myself or left in disgust before now.
LMFAO
