Nearly 100% of Up-&-Coming Dems Disagree America Is the Greatest Country in the World

The survey of 9,895 respondents was conducted between Sept. 3 and Sept. 15, 2019, and had a margin of error of plus- or minus-1.5 percentage points.

It’s a quote that’s commonly, but inaccurately, attributed to Winston Churchill: “If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain.”

As the International Churchill Society notes, the ol’ bulldog was a Tory at the age of 15 and a liberal at age 35. (He’d eventually find his brain.)

However, it’s a bit of folk wisdom that we take for granted: Young liberals will eventually age out of their more extreme opinions and, if not become card-carrying Republicans, at least become moderates.

One hopes that’s true — especially in the area of patriotism. As it stands now, according to the results of a poll released Wednesday, 95 percent of young Democrats don’t think the United States is the greatest country in the world.

The Pew Research Center’s headline is a masterpiece of understatement: “Younger Americans more likely than older adults to say there are other countries that are better than the U.S.”

Yup, we suck alright. So, may I suggest that the 95%ers move to their "better" TWSH country of choice with no right of return? WFM!

Butt, oddly, if you look at the Pew article it’s headline states “Nearly half....” Must be new math that has “nearly half” equaling “nearly 100%” Which is apparently 95%. In any case, pony up some PODS and head out youngsters.

“TWSH”? Hmmm...I’ll guess “The World’s Shit Holes.”

“WFM”? Hmmm, again. I’ll guess “Work For Money.” Or maybe “We Fooled Mama”?

What cracks me up is if you ask them what country is better they will almost always mention Norway or Finland or Sweden which is almost all white. Well wait a minute, if they white man is evil how can this be?

I seem to remember a video clip in which Hillary was asked if she loved America. She said that she ‘loved the American that can be’. In other words, no, she does not love America. Tell your wife or husband that you love the them they can be. Then run.

So, if pressed, which country(ies) would they accord the title of "greatest country of the world?"

Luxembourg? New Zealand? Nepal? Mali?

Let's hear them not only deny that the U.S. is the best, but also suggest a better alternative!

Regards,

All dems who think this should do the right thing and immediately leave for a country of their choosing and never ever return. May their chains rest lightly on their shoulders in their new chosen country.

Thank you to the American school system. Left liberal teachers and professors!

Money quote:

“Forty-seven percent of young Americans between the ages of 18-29 who identified as Democrats or lean Democratic said they believe there are better countries than the United States. Another 48 percent said the United States is only among the greatest countries, not the greatest.

“Just 5 percent said that the United States is the greatest country in the world.

“Among those ages 30-49, the numbers weren’t much better. Only 7 percent said America is the world’s greatest nation, compared with 59 percent who said it’s one of the greatest nations and 34 percent who felt there were better countries.”


Back when, this poll would be like 100% agree US Best Country.

That’s because the Dems are the anti-American party.
