The following report is from Statista:
Americans’ pride in their country has steadily fallen since Gallup started conducting a survey on the subject in 2001. Now, national pride in the U.S. has plummeted to an all-time low, as the fewest respondents in the history of the poll said they were extremely proud to be an American. The measure dropped to just 38 percent upon Gallup’s latest survey in June 2022.
Adding up those Americans who felt extremely or just very proud of their country, the measure fell from 69 percent in 2021 to 65 percent in 2022. This is still 2 percentage point above an all-time low of 63 percent in 2020.
In terms of partisanship, Democrats have predictably seen the largest drop in national pride. Only 26 percent of Democrats responded that they were extremely proud of their country in 2022 – down five points from 2021 and 30 points since 2013. But Republicans were also affected, losing 18 percentage points since a recent high of 76 percent extremely proud respondents in 2019, landing at 58 percent saying they were extremely proud of America in 2022.
National pride, like many other topics in the U.S., has become intertwined in political polarization, having culminated in a record 54-point gap in feelings of extreme pride between Republicans and Democrats in 2019.
The survey also shows that older Americans are more likely to have extreme pride in the U.S. when compared with younger ones, while men are also much more likely than women to show extreme national pride.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John 2:16
Make no mistake about it and do not let any false prophet deceive you with vain words: every and all references to pride and being proud in the King James Bible are negative, and is not of the Father. HONOR is what a child of God should seek after.
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
Proverbs 18:12
As concerning these new statistics, we must note the context. There is no question that nationalism, patriotism, and pride in the U.S. has fallen off of a cliff. Most people, including the majority of Republicans, are just socialists but don’t know it or admit it; who just want to be pampered without having to sweat and roll out of bed. Nevertheless these hypocrites continually get what they want by voting for it each year and refusing to receive instruction and deny truth. They are slaves of their own oppression.
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Proverbs 15:33
That being said, in terms of the people and what they believe in their hearts: they have never been prouder, and the more foolish, mischievous, and deluded.
[9] Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. [10] This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. [14] And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. [15] Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. [16] Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. [17] But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’S flock is carried away captive. [18] Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. Jeremiah 13:9-10, 14-18
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

This is refreshing for my eyes, Jacob.
Let’s pray extra hard that those satanic charismatic mammon and belly-worshipping hireling satanists Jimmy and Donnie Swaggart in Baton Rouge, Louisiana! Those devils need to be destroyed and left desolate!
Those Swaggart devils and their equally false and wicked self-righteous congregation in that Family Worship Center cult building were singing God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood, and it made me so angry! Singing that vile hypocritical song of pride written by that useful idiot named Lee Greenwood as if it were an old hymn – I shouted Proverbs 16:18 and Proverbs 16:5 at that blasphemous dung heap! And I can say with confidence that it was a repulsive stink in God’s nostrils! And that hireling devil Donnie Swaggart even said he’s proud of his Assemblies of God charismatic heritage – Donnie, you are in for a major and disastrous DOWNFALL!!!
We need to pray and believe by faith and the King James Bible that God will destroy the Swaggarts and their cult – stomp them out like cockroaches!
*Let’s pray extra hard against those satanic charismatic mammon and belly-worshipping hireling satanists Jimmy and Donnie Swaggart in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and they wind up getting crushed like bugs!
I got news no better, a verse from the King James Bible against you Donnie Swaggart:
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
I’m proud to be an American! And I won’t forget the men who died that gave that right to me, So I proudly stand up and proclaim America is still the best nation next to Israel to live in! And if anyone has a problem living here in the good ole USA, I say pack your bags and go live in a muslim nation, or China!
Shari, you better repent! Didn’t you read the article? Any and all references to pride are a SIN! If you’re proud to be an American, then you’re evil and you better repent! Any and all pride, proud to be an American included is EVIL!
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
You’re also lukewarm and even Jacob called you out on it.
Repent!
Trust me, getting spewed out is not a fun and happy time, I’ve seen it happen when my grandma pined away and died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Our Elders are in large part lairs, murderers, deceivers, high-minded, selfish, arrogant, worshipers of America more than of God, hater of their own Elders and the youth alike, ungodly, full of hatred, and they love to teach the youth to be so.
And when a youth today wakes up to the truth of the situation, they become confused, angry, bitter, hurt, and lost about what to do. To make matters worse, often the youth only wake up to part of the truth, which causes them to be even more confused. And with few honest Elders of wisdom to learn from, it’s causing a lot of issues for the youth.
An angry, hurt, corrupted youth cannot have any form of pride nor the proper thankfulness for a nation when their Elders are so corrupted at a national scale. The youth require the guidance of good elders for their very survival, and when they are lead so astray by those elders, that generation becomes demoralized and wicked. That doesn’t justify the sins of the youth, for The Lord will judge the youth on their sins. However, improper instruction for the youth is a grievous sin that only leads to more wickedness.
Very intuitive and strong points.
