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.

    For those two examples no. But I think many of each of their followers were(but definitely not all).

    Even if they’re not pure evil but go along with evil acts and/or perform them, what’s the difference? Bad quote time: If you have 10 nazis and one 1 person that isn’t at a table, you really have 11 nazis.

    I was going to do that, but I’m worried about how to do it transparently. I used to use a subreddit where the mod had 20 different accounts, obviously I wouldn’t do that but it could still seem like I’m manipulating a conversation if I use an alt.

    You could post in the sidebar what your alt is if you think it’s necessary. I really think you should be able to use the site as a normal user and I think it’s weirder to see the mod tag, but that’s just my take.

      The difference is one person wants to harm people, the other genuinely wants to do good but they are wrong on what is good. I think most people genuinely want to do good.

      Maybe, I’ll think about it.

          I don’t think all the good people are concentrated in one region, clearly segrated from bad people. Also, I think more than 2/3rds want to do good.
