Republicans are far prouder of America even under leftist rule than Democrats are of the country they run.

Democrats control the White House and the Senate. Not to mention the Left controls Corporate America and the culture.

You would think they’d be happy. Nope.

Republicans’ pride in America has consistently outpaced that of Democrats, while independents’ views have been closer to Democrats’. Currently, 59% of Republicans, 34% of Democrats and 36% of independents say they are extremely proud to be American. The 25-point gap in extreme pride between Republicans and Democrats today is similar to the 28-point average gap since 2001. The latest difference between the two parties is less than half of the record-high gap — 54 points in 2019 — when an all-time low of 22% of Democrats expressed extreme pride.

And that was supposed to be about Trump. But having Dems running things only made so much of a difference.

Republicans are far prouder of America even under leftist rule than Democrats are of the country they run.

But who can blame them, the official discourse in their political and cultural institutions is that America is terrible. A nation created based on slavery whose entire structure is racist from its milk to its highways.
