Majority of Americans Feel Like ‘Stranger in Own Country’

A Super PAC tied to Ohio Governor John Kasich is annnouncing a new multi-million dollar effort to torpedo Donald Trump’s campaign for the Republican nomination.

Trump’s continued dominance of national and state-level polling has vexed the GOP establishment and pushed it to near-panic as voting nears.

A recent survey of public attitudes by Reuters/Ispos, though, suggests caution for the GOP establishment.

Whatever failings there may be in his specific policies, Donald Trump’s campaign has tapped into a strong, visceral feeling of millions of Americans. Seeking to destroy Trump, the candidate, may further alienate the Republican party from a rapidly growing block of voters.

According to the Reuters survey, 58 percent Americans say they “don’t identify with what America has become.” While Republicans and Independents are the most likely to agree with this statement, even 45 percent of Democrats share this feeling.

More than half of Americans, 53 percent, say they “feel like a stranger” in their own country. A minority of Americans feel “comfortable as myself” in the country.

Whenever I see an American flag, I almost have the same reaction as when I see a Canadian flag.

Like a “Oh, I wonder why that’s there” type of reaction. As if I’m in the wrong nation.

That is interesting.

As much as you have been fighting brainwashing, it still gets you.

Same happens to me.

When I go to the mall, I hear mostly Spnish spoken. I don’t go there much anymore, because I know when I start hearing Arabic, the xplosives will soon follow.

My local Walgreens where I pick up my meds. They have Mexican music blaring throughout their store. Even I who happens to be of Mexican Anestry, I’m like “WTF! am I in Mexico now?”

I feel the same way when we visit relatives in California. When I cross the border, I feel like I'm in enemy territory and when I see an American flag I'm always surprised, which isn't very often.

A minority of Americans feel “comfortable as myself” ..Must be an iPsos Poll. I hate “How do You feeel...” about a company, product or person. If I don’t get a hard-on about the subject, HOW am I supposed to FEEEEl?

You won't see one in front of my house with what this country has become and I'm not Mexican.

Traveling this fall through Iowa hubby went into a Walmart to buy some baby shampoo for the dog and when he came back to the motel and told me “If you feel like you are in a 3rd world country at Walmart in Vegas, you should go to this Walmart.”
Des Moines greeter in Muslim garb and the place was full of them.

Seems to me all a muskie need do these days to terrorize people is go to a crowded place and scream allahu akbar. No guns, no explosions, just the words.
