Young voters do not appear to have a favorable view of the United States. Among the 18\u201330 voters who were polled, only 42% responded that they were proud to be an American. Half of these voters described the United States as a dystopia, hellscape, or dying empire. When it comes to their views of American being a force of good, more believed that it wasn’t compared to those who believed that it was.<\/p>\n

Young voters have an unfavorable view of how things are going in the United States, with less than half agreeing they are “proud to be an American” in a new poll.<\/p>\n

According to the Blueprint poll released Wednesday, just 42% of young voters ages 18-30 are proud to be American, while 64% believe that America is in decline. Half say it’s accurate to describe America as a “hellscape,” dystopia,” or “dying empire.”<\/p>\n

Less than half of voters surveyed think America is more of a “good guy” than a “bad guy” right now, 48%, while just 33% say America is a “force for good in the world.”<\/p>\n

Many young voters expressed anti-colonialist sentiments, including 38% who said America is a global imperial oppressor, 48% who agreed America is at risk of becoming a fascist country, 45% who said America should pay reparations to black people, and 36% who agreed prisons and police “as we know them” should be abolished.<\/p>\n

The majority believes the American dream hasn’t been equally accessible to all, American systems of power are built on the marginalization of minorities, black people face systemic disadvantages in America, and most people are racist, sexist, and biased.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
