Some 38% of respondents said patriotism was very important to them, and 39% said religion was very important. That was down sharply from when the Journal first asked the question in 1998, when 70% deemed patriotism to be very important, and 62% said so of religion.
…
The share of Americans who say that having children, involvement in their community and hard work are very important values has also fallen. Tolerance for others, deemed very important by 80% of Americans as recently as four years ago, has fallen to 58% since then.
…
The only priority the Journal tested that has grown in importance in the past quarter-century is money, which was cited as very important by 43% in the new survey, up from 31% in 1998.
…
Only 23% of adults under age 30 said that having children was very important

Nor had smart phones, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Now we have a bunch of people just kind of numb and going through the motions of life, looking for the next little dopamine hit when they check their phone and see new content to watch/read or respond ses to their posts. COVID really exacerbated this numbness and feeling of “what is the point?”.

ICYMI: Bill Maher and members of Congress on both sides of the aisle blame Tik Tok and a disinformation and manipulation campaigns by foreign nationals.

Something has prompted Americans to skew not only negative but anti-American. Patriotism has been labeled as a bad thing. This is very troubling. Everyone should be worried.

The fact that the anti-Tik Tok discussion on the Hill enjoys bipartisan support is very chilling. Coming on the heels of a China/Russia lovefest speaks volumes about the legitimate fear our leaders have.

People watched. 9 11 cause "patriotism" to be manipulated into the illegal Iraq war to pay out to defense contractors. They watched "patriotism" be manipulated by trump and screw over the country. Patriotism was used as part of the con game and people do not like to be conned.

+1000. When the country doesn't actually serve the people who live here, don't be surprised that they don't feel patriotic.

We're the Jan 6 insurrections and the politicians behind them "patriots" as they are called? Who wouldn't want to associated with that?

Does the wsj realize that the 1998 word patriot and the 2023 word patriot are not the same thing?

So let’s throw out the baby with the bath water? Um, I think that’s why we are here: far too many self-loathing Americans.

Do you realize *why* that is? Can you connect the dots and see the weaponization of *words*?
