Young pride in America plummets

Axios - American patriotism has declined steeply among young adults over the past decade, and now sits at a record low. Pride in national identity is lowest among those 18-34 — showing the fractures among generations at a time of deep partisanship, Axios' Sareen Habeshian writes. In Gallup polling from June, Americans 55+ were nearly 3 times more likely to be extremely proud of their nationality than younger generations. Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are "extremely proud" to be American. 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.

If you grew up in a time of watching your country murder, torture, and oppress people and burn up the planet you would have little pride in it too
