I’ve tacked in the opposite direction.
We’ve become more religious. We’re about to have our second child this fall. I’ve also always been patriotic in the sense that I have a natural affinity for my own race, ethnic group, culture, heritage and state. I just don’t feel the same way about the federal government or the federal flag.
WSJ:
“The survey, conducted with NORC at the University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research organization, also finds the country sharply divided by political party over social trends such as the push for racial diversity in businesses and the use of gender-neutral pronouns.
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. …”
Conservative liberalism aka Reaganism was a failure.
It is now a cliché to say it. Millions of White people have accepted this and agree with us now. Millions of White people also agree with us that it is time to dissolve the Union.
