▲ 994 ▼ Most young people are no longer proud to be Americans, poll finds (www.axios.com) submitted 3 years ago by FlyingSquid@lemmy.world to c/politics@lemmy.world 359 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.
