American pride has fallen off a cliff
A recent survey indicates a significant decline in American pride and a growing sense of national identity crisis ahead of the nation's 250th birthday. Pride in being American has dropped sharply since 2013, with fewer citizens believing in the American Dream and shared civic values. The survey highlights deep divisions, particularly between Republicans and other political groups, on what constitutes national identity, with a majority of Republicans emphasizing traditional markers like birth and faith, while Democrats and independents show less adherence to these definitions.
