I’m an ‘84 baby like you and recently I’ve been trying to remember when the last time I actually felt national pride.
I keep thinking maybe in the general upswell of national pride post 9/11 but that was probably mostly mob mentality and juvenile ignorance.
I am proud to be a Minnesotan though! When I’m abroad in the country the other Americans I meet seem generally decent but it just doesn’t feel like home if I’m outside of my state.
'81 baby here. My parents told me I'd jam along to Reagan's "Born in the USA" ads in my underoos with a tiny plastic guitar. I think that's the last time I felt national pride.
