SAD! Touré not extremely proud to be an American right now, seeks reinforcement

As Twitchy reported Monday, a new Gallup poll shows that a record low number of Americans consider themselves “extremely proud” to be Americans, although the gap between political parties was substantial. Only 32 percent of Democrats would call themselves “extremely proud” to be Americans as opposed to 74 percent of Republicans.

Count former MSNBC host Touré among those who are helping bring that number down to a record low:

Gallup: A record-low 47% of Americans are extremely proud to be Americans. I get it. I’m not extremely proud to be an American right now. Are you?

Hey, the guy asked.

I am.

Yes, and so were the vast majority of Republicans when Obama was president https://t.co/iCEpae6iqY

Republicans generally don’t judge whether they’re proud to be Americans based on who is president.

I'm a naturalized citizen. That's all you need to know.

Well, I'm not proud you're an American. Does that count?

I'm not proud you are an american either. I thought we were made of sterner stuff.

Try not politicizing everything, seeing race in everything, and equating politicians to America and you might get there.

I always get teary when I vote. I have since I was 18. I never take for granted the incredible freedom I was given for simply being born here. And I get a vote in how my beautiful country is governed. I don’t always get my way but I’m still so lucky and blessed I got to vote.

Yes, as a Puerto Rican I could not be more proud to be a US citizen!

Yep. Next question.

I was proud to be an American through 8 years of the Obama presidency, even though I opposed many of his policies. My patriotism isn’t dependent on who’s in the Oval Office. Too bad you don’t really love your country. Feel free to live elsewhere.

Yes. Also, does getting ratio'd for asking this count as a poll?

I haven't voted for the last two men who have occupied the White House and distress everyday over certain things happening in our country…and I am damn hell proud to be American. USA

— John Rook (@JohnRook3) July 4, 2018

Yes, very much so. Have always been. So much so, I was willing to put my life on the line to protect it and my 300+ million fellow Americans for 30 years.

Always & everywhere. The grievance culture you peddle won’t allow it. I feel sorry for you & your ilk. You’re living in the best society in the history of mankind yet still bitch daily.

I’m here on a ratio tour and this was a featured tweet.

I’m always extremely proud to be an American! We live in the greatest country in the history of the world. Who wouldn’t be proud to be an American?
