A steady 41% of U.S. adults, including a majority of Republicans but fewer Democrats and independents, say they are extremely proud to be American.

Still too low.

Nothing will fundamentally change. ~ Joseph R. Biden

Well we had one thing change. Our pride.

It’s very weird to me that it’s republicans who are more proud than democrats. Republicans are the ones who say the country is a crime-filled shithole full of woke gay black trans people who care about humans rights, and they think those are bad things. So what are they proud of?

I’m proud that we have all those types of people and more, and that we’ve made some progress in getting them a semblance of equality, but I’m ashamed that we’re still not quite there yet and even the pittances we’ve won have taken so freaking long and have been met with such resistance from the right.

They’re proud of the “real” America. Those others in this country don’t count and need to be eliminated.

It’s also really strange that conservatives love gutting the government… Which is a pretty big part of what makes a country. They they love that flag.

I think if you asked them with open mind you’d find a very different conclusion

Fucking good.

No, GIR. That’s bad. Giving an extra fuck about the place where you live helps combat things going to shit through the tragedy of the commons. The fact that toxic people have made am awful version of it doesn’t change c the fact that it’s a positive thing. Don’t let the cunts take it away. Please take pride in where you live, and I will take pride in where I live, and we can show off our homes to each other.

You shouldn’t be proud of a location just because some ditzy cunt squeezed you out on a specific bit of dirt.

Be proud of what you and your neighbors do to improve the place. And if that isn’t enough to be proud of, do better.

The fact that there are any “proud Americans” shows what a joke the subject of history must be in US high schools.
