Patriotism, religion and hard work hold less importance
Patriotism, religious faith, having children and other priorities that helped define the national character for generations are receding in importance to Americans, a new Wall Street Journal-NORC poll finds.
The survey, conducted with NORC at the University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research organization, also finds the country sharply divided by political party over social trends such as the push for racial diversity in businesses and the use of gender-neutral pronouns.
Some 38% of respondents said patriotism was very important to them, and 39% said religion was very important. That was down sharply from when the Journal first asked the question in 1998, when 70% deemed patriotism to be very important, and 62% said so of religion. The share of Americans who say that having children, involvement in their community and hard work are very important values has also fallen. Tolerance for others, deemed very important by 80% of Americans as recently as four years ago, has fallen to 58% since then.

Not this American. Come and get my values.
Well, the left is all about having children, dead children.
“hard work are very important values has also fallen. Tolerance for others, deemed very important by 80% of Americans as recently as four years ago, has fallen to 58% since then.”
Do we all think this is a coincidence? I know Ive learned to not tolerate lazy folks moreso than anytime in my life.
Pulling back because the assumption was used against them.
“Leaders” who have insinuated themselves into previously grown institutions seem to think that people are content with being tax donkeys that will enable foreign conceptions of what the world should be.
AMERICA!! 🇺🇸
A land mass where a bunch of random people live!!
America has become a greedy, me, me, me, look at me country. It’s all about the individual. People no longer care about America. They care ONLY about themselves.
It’s really going to sting if Biden starts a war with China and no one shows up to the draft. They can try to muscle people all they want, but it’s hard to recruit a blue-haired 300 lb 5’8” male who hates his country and thinks the military is a fascist organization.
Big changes over just a couple of years. After Obama and now Biden, no surprise. Fleeting, hopefully.
Very sad. This reinforces to me my conclusion that the last generation of Americans has already been born. GenZ is appropriately named. Z for the last.
Remember that time in the early eighties when your kids school said they were going to change the Christmas Program to a Winter Carnival? And you didn’t say anything because you didn’t want your kids school to not like you or hassle your kid?
Yeah. That’s how it happened. Drip. Drip. Drip.
Death by a thousand cuts.
"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World."
Surprised not. Truth and facts no longer have meaning, just the feeling of the day from TokToc and Instagram.
Just look around us. We are being overrun with foreigners, who have no respect or understanding of our values and customs.
These hyphonated “Americans” are quickly diluting our true citizens into a rabble...truly sad.
Demographics is Destiny.
Biden will invite China to come on over before he would ever start a war. I expect China to simply make an announcement that they now rule America.
Nailed it.
Public "School" GloboHomoNazi Indoctrination and the move away from Christianity and God.
frontline troops are returning from war to find an unrecognizable land, where the principles and traditions they had sacrificed so much to defend are now the stuff of mockery...
Well, a war with China would be over in 15 minutes. One side will crash the other’s power grid and Internet before the other can respond, and that will be that. The US has far too few people to occupy a defeated China, and China would not waste time occupying a defeated US - they would assert control over the rest of Asia, first, and wait for surviving factions in the US to destroy each other.
The need for drafting cannon fodder will be close to zero, either way.
