Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.
Meanwhile, 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.
18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.
Youngest boomers are 59. Gotta long way to go.
I wouldn’t consider 1964 to be baby boomer territory, or at least it’s at the very end of it. Baby Boomers are the hippy generation, they were the ones protesting Vietnam in the late 60’s early 70’s. By the time the Vietnam war ended they only would’ve been 10 years old. 90% of baby boomers are long gone from America at this point or have retired. Gen X is in charge now
