Changing face of The U.S.

[Nom De Plume]

Among people 55 and older, for example, nearly 80% said patriotism was very important, compared with 42% of those ages 18-38—the millennial generation and older members of Gen-Z. Two-thirds of the older group cited religion as very important, compared with fewer than one-third of the younger group.
“There’s an emerging America where issues like children, religion and patriotism are far less important. And in America, it’s the emerging generation that calls the shots about where the country is headed,” said Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted the survey with Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt.

In addition, well over 50 percent of Baby Boomers rated “having children” as “very important”, while just over 30 percent of Americans under the age of 39 did.
God, family and country are clearly not as important to Americans as they used to be, and that has enormous implications for our future. When all of the age groups in the Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey are combined and the results are compared to 21 years ago, we can clearly see the seismic shift that has taken place…

Some 61% in the new survey cited patriotism as very important to them, down 9 percentage points from 1998, while 50% cited religion, down 12 points. Some 43% placed a high value on having children, down 16 points from 1998.

While more than half of Americans rejected socialism in a recent Gallup poll, 43% surveyed said some version of it would be good for the country. That sentiment was held by 58% of respondents ages 18 to 34, compared with just 36% of those 55 and older.

The primary reason why all of this is happening is quite obvious. For most of our history, the United States has been an overwhelmingly Christian nation. But in recent decades that has begun to change dramatically, and the shift has been most pronounced among young adults.
According to a survey that was conducted a while back by PRRI, 39 percent of all young adults in America are now “religiously unaffiliated”, but all the way back in 1986 that number was sitting at just 10 percent…

And of course many of our “religious institutions” have also shifted dramatically to the left during that same time frame.
Ultimately, it is quite easy to see what we need to do. If we ever want to turn America back in the right direction, we need to return to the values and principles that this nation was founded upon.
But that is much easier said than done.

The sad truth is that America’s young adults have firmly rejected the values that we once held so dear. They want to take this country down an entirely different path, and given enough time they would have the numbers to firmly be in control.

Maybe Khrushchev was right. God help us all. It may not be the Soviets, but China that sees the free world fall.
