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 can understand your concern, though my first wife was from Gentry, AR and I lived there as well (I often forget that as she is an ex wife). It is possible for people to have different experiences to the rhetoric.
