Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.
Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.
18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.
You ever read about people like WWII pilots, bankers, maybe some scientists, etc who got into their fields by just kind of wandering in ass backwards, and the gov or business or whatever said oh you’re only 16 and dropped out of school in eighth grade and you’re completely unqualified, no problem, here go fly this Corsair and shoot bad guys, or go ahead and manage this portfolio or whatever. Those are the same people who tell you just walk in and look the boss square in the eye and demand a job.
Try that now and you don’t even get past security.
