Recent surveys have exposed a rift on patriotic attitudes that academics say could lead to Independence Day becoming a holiday embraced mostly by conservatives.

• A Gallup poll reported Thursday that 58% of Republicans, 34% of independents and 26% of Democrats said they are “extremely proud” to be American. That is down from 87% of Republicans, 65% of independents and 62% of Democrats in the same poll last summer.

 

• A nationwide survey of 2,000 college students reported Tuesday that 76% of self-identified conservative undergraduates feel “proud to be an American,” while 40% of liberals feel likewise.

• A December 2020 study from the nonpartisan More in Common US found that 34% of self-identified “progressive activists” and 51% of Generation Z were proud to be Americans.

These pandemic-era surveys follow a July 2018 Gallup poll finding that just 23% of liberals were “extremely proud” to be Americans, compared with 65% of conservatives.

 

“As a card-carrying liberal, I am both saddened and appalled by the way the left has ceded patriotism to the right,” said Jonathan Zimmerman, a professor in the history of education at the University of Pennsylvania.

Sad thing is that most Gen X/Y/Z/M have never heard that tune (nor any of the other late 1970s pop).

Humans can err, but it takes computers to really screw things up.

Wasn't that in 2012?

Still pretty epic to watch.

We've got a new challenger!
 

 

Ya know, the US and UK are like playground buddies who at first got into fights and are now inseparable.  Lemonade, Scratchy?

Happy 4th y'all!

Because all who used to celebrate Christmas knew, and agreed on what they were celebrating, perhaps?
