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.

    What’s your alternative? Other countries have similar one-word names for their citizens, “Italians,” “Japanese,” “Mexicans”, etc. United-Statesians? Then we might get the complaint that many other countries are made of smaller states too! Let’s go for “citizens of the United States of America,” that’s nice and short. I get that Central/South America exists, but let us have the word, there’s nothing else which sounds good.
