A recent poll revealed that a record low of just 68% of the citizenry are extremely or very proud to be American.  However, underlying that overall dismal outcome is the reality that among the two youngest generations only 38% of Millennials and 16% of Gen Z are proud to be American despite being the beneficiaries of living in a unfathomably prosperous nation that has not known any profound national adversity since the Great Depression. 

What we are seeing play out is the reality of demographic change in America as the younger mal-educated generations account for over half of the populace and are increasingly becoming culturally and politically influential.  Within these generations an overwhelming majority have been indoctrinated by socialist/Marxist ideologues to believe that a capitalist United States as founded is irredeemable and must be transformed.

Over the past sixty years, as the oblivious governing generations slept and reveled in America’s prosperity, the American Marxists relentlessly infiltrated the legacy media, the entertainment complex, and the education establishment. Their ultimate objective was to indoctrinate the younger generations into mindless foot soldiers that would foment future societal turmoil -- the primary tactic for achieving permanent political power.

Public schools have succeeded in their indoctrination.

Well the way things have been going lately, I haven’t been all that proud of being an American myself. Probably because the American people are no longer the ones in control of this country, we’ve undergone an elitist coup when the election was stolen from Trump.

America’s Future is Bleak When Only 27% of the Younger Generations are Proud to be American

The younger generation have no background knowledge or experiences with which to make sound and logical decisions, which is why democrats target them so much for the easy and dumb votes.

But, ask them what country is better than ours and if they would rather live there than here. I'd bet that 90-99% of them could not come up with a good answer, and if they do have an answer, ask them if they would accept a one-way paid trip to go there. But, as ignorant as they are about the world, chances are that, they'd have no good answers for any question as to why they're not proud of their country.

They should be invited to move to a country where they can experience a socialist or Muslim third-world lifestyle and then be re-polled.

It does make you wonder, what will America look like 20 years from now , 30 years from now , 50 years from now.

Will America be a full blown socialist country in the future?

Will all this LGBT business be carried to further and further extremes?

Will our cities be structured differently, in terms of where we all live ,and the transportation we all use? Will owning private vehicles be common? With the internal combustion engine set to be outlawed in many states, how many people will have electric cars, and will our electric grid be able to recharge hundreds of millions of electric cars as we are compelled to go in that direction?

Just a few thoughts of apprehension about what the future holds

what’s more detrimental is that 27% (at least) of the younger generation are lazy and ignorant....

I doubt 27% could identify with my definition of an American. I really have no interest in associating with such people.

The Enlightenment emphasizing individual human liberties synthesized into property as defined most immediately by John Locke, William Blackstone, Montesquieu, and James Madison. Here property was first sourced internally in personal self-protection, opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only through the exercise of those liberties could one acquire the traditional manifestations of property. That became the basis of our Constitution.

Since the emergence of independent colonies and for all time Americans would be defined as sovereign individuals finding their identity in exercising pre-existing intangible liberties within bounds of voluntary self-restraint and accompanied by the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms. Their ethnicity, gender, class, and race would always be secondary expressions of humanity.

Quang Nguyen who escaped from Vietnam and founded Caddis Branding Agency said, “In 1982, I stood with a thousand new immigrants, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and listening to the National Anthem for the first time as an American. To this day, I can't remember anything sweeter and more patriotic than that moment in my life…..You see, America is not just a place on the map, it isn't just a physical location. It is an ideal, a concept. And if you are an American, you must understand the concept, you must accept this concept, and most importantly, you have to fight and defend this concept. This is about Freedom and not free stuff. And that is why I am standing up here.”

How much of that is natural hubris of youth? That they know they can do better.
I certainly thought that way. Life us a great teacher.
I hope many of those who answered negatively are just young and think they know everything
Didn’t we all?

What did you expect, public schools have been teaching how bad the USA and its Constitution for over 50 years.

Capitalism bad; socialism good.

Many of the “younger generation” do not even identify as American.

Look at California, where the majority are illegal aliens or recent anchor babies. They identify as Mexican, not American.

The government education/indoctrination system has done its job perfectly...

The parents who have supported the communist takeover of this Nation by committing their offspring to these asylums have to feel so proud...

If we had only known that the Left had turned the schools into indoctrination centers. Oh, that’s right, we did.

A lot of Americans aren’t too proud of these little misguided twits either.

It cuts both ways

It’s also bleak when 15% of “Americans” aren’t actually Americans.
