American Patriotism or Socialism?

America is about to celebrate its 250th birthday, but some left-wing Democrats plan to skip the party. “When you forget who you are, it’s easy to be talked into becoming something else, says GAI’s Eric Eggers. A new CNN poll found surprising support among Democrats for socialism, with 66 percent of those surveyed saying they have a positive view of socialism, compared with a minority – 42 percent – saying the same about capitalism and the free market system, a flip of their sentiments from 15 years ago. Is this caused by their hatred for President Donald Trump and his populist turn, or is it a longer-term trend?
