MAGA, Not! Gallup Poll: American Pride Hitting Record Lows

Fewer than half of Americans are "extremely proud" to be American — a record low, according to a new Gallup poll.

In the survey released Monday, 47 percent of respondents said they were "extremely proud" when asked how proud they were to be an American — extremely, very, moderately, a little, or not at all.

It was the first time "extremely proud" was not a majority since the poll first started asking the question in 2001; in 2003, 70 percent said they were extremely proud to be Americans.

1. Wow ! Combined with a declining reputation to the world.....

...and it's like a millstone has been wrapped around the country's neck, huh? Sad. I don't know how long this will last but it sure has gotten bad.

2. Ashamed, embarrassed, and angry that our government has become a

corporate tool for the military industrial complex and Wall Street.

That is how I view my country.

3. Even military and market may not be on board

No doubt many heads at the Pentagon are exploding over Trump's treason and Wall Street and Chamber of Commerce are jumping ship over tariffs.
