A new poll from Elon University has confirmed what many people on the right have known for years. Very few Democrats are proud to be Americans, less than one in five, to be exact.
Of course, these same people were probably very proud to be Americans when Obama was president. That’s how the left rolls. They are only happy about the country if they are in charge of it. When they lose elections, they think the country is awful.
Their love of country is conditional.
The New York Post reports:
Fewer than 1 in 5 Dems feel proud to be American ahead of 250th birthday — compared to 2 in 3 of Republicans
Less than one in five Democratic voters said they are proud to be American in a recent poll ahead of America’s 250th birthday next month — compared to more than two-thirds of their Republican counterparts.
Those surveyed were asked what term best described how they felt when they thought about the United States marking its semiquincentennial anniversary, and Dems had almost nothing good to say.
Just 18% of self-described Democrats said they felt “Proud” and only 17% felt “Grateful,” according to polling conducted by Elon University and published on Tuesday.
A bigger number of Democrats (21%) said they felt “Conflicted” about America, 15% “Disappointed,” 6% “Frustrated,” and nearly a quarter (24%) had “No strong feelings,” the survey showed.
That contrasted strongly with self-described Republican voters, of whom 68% said they felt “Proud” and 19% felt “Grateful.”
Just 1% of Republicans felt “Disappointed,” about America, 1% felt “Frustrated,” and 9% had “No strong feelings.”
Now watch Jon Stewart in 2016 as he lectures conservative Americans saying, “You don’t own patriotism.”
From CBS News in 2016:
Stewart was back behind a late night desk Thursday night, joining former Comedy Central colleague Stephen Colbert on a live version of CBS’ “Late Show.”
Stewart took aim at some of his favorite “Daily Show” targets, Fox News and host Sean Hannity, accusing them of fostering divisiveness. He said Trump supporters feel like they’re America’s “rightful owners,” adding “you don’t own patriotism, you don’t own Christianity, you sure as hell don’t own respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police and firefighters.”
He is so angry. And wrong.

Well, Mr. Stewart, it turns out conservative Americans do own patriotism. Sorry.
