+! on the above... I think a lot of this comes down to more positive messaging. The past 20+ years has seen a progression in USA sucks (as a US citizen) and that has eroded confidence, along with a lot of other issues. Saying the US is a great nation is absolutely frowned upon. There are plenty of things wrong, and the past is anything but perfect. That said, societal breakdown leads to that level of insecurity which means more chances for a loss of freedom. Share at least one positive interest story a day on social media with friends... more people do that, more people see more good in the world. Make an effort. Sometimes it's harder to seek out though. I'm not immune from the negativity even if I don't always agree with it. Make an effort not to confuse people with their views, and don't talk down to people with differing political perspectives. Most people are mostly good most of the time... stop making assertions that tear people down.
