“Democrats take great offense at being accused of being unpatriotic, but the data don’t lie. A new NBC News poll captured the partisan gap over pride in America. Overall, 56% of Americans are extremely or very proud of the country, but only 29% of Democrats, compared to 90% of Republicans. That’s a yawning gap, and about a matter that really shouldn’t be controversial. We aren’t talking about abortion, or Donald Trump’s White House ballroom, but an elemental thing (pride in country) that in most times and places has been taken for granted.” [editor’s note: If you (irrationally, IMO) want people to be “proud” of their “country,” keep it a country that inspires pride. Otherwise, shut yer whining – TLK] (06/19/26)
