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.

    I can be proud to be American and a human at the same time. Saying “I love my family” doesn’t mean I don’t love other people too, and it doesn’t mean I think my family is somehow better than other human beings, it just means I love my family. Same logic applies here.

          Can the bourgeoisie really be said to be human? 😊

            I’m truly sorry to hear you’re not having a good time here. Good news is, there’s a big old world out there, with plenty of countries to explore! I sincerely hope one day you’ll be able to find a country where you’ll be just as happy as I am in the US. :)

                I know it’s confusing because so many of the main characters are humans, but Star Wars actually doesn’t take place on Earth-- it’s set in a galaxy far, far away. So unfortunately, you’re going to have to travel a few hundred million light years to make it to the heart of the Empire. But the good news is Coruscant is an absolutely lovely city, with tons of fun stuff to do!
