- hirundo 7y ago> In 2017, 47 percent of adults said they were extremely proud of the United States...The 76 percent of Republicans who expressed extreme pride in the latest survey is 10 points off the high of 86 percent in 2003. “Even when Barack Obama was in office,” Brenan writes, “Republicans’ extreme pride never fell below 68 percent.”... Lately, though, Democratic pride has fallen off a cliff. Just 22 percent of Democrats say they feel extreme pride for their country in the latest survey. That’s half the number recorded prior to the 2016 election. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/gallup-democrats-drive-u-s-patriotism-plunge/ https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/gallup-democrats-drive... So when their candidate is in office, extreme pride in the US is about 76% for GOP, 44% for DEM. When out of office it's around 68% GOP, 22% DEM. That would seem to make a 4th of July celebration a largely partisan event. How long before the 4th of July, like the Betsy Ross flag, is transformed into a symbol of oppression and white supremacy?
