Will Witt headed to Echo Park, in the heart of hipster Los Angeles, to ask if people take pride in being American. Check it out.
What's up guys, this is Will Will with PragerU.
Today we're at Echo Park Lake, and we're going to be asking people if they're proud to be an American.
What is your favorite thing about America?
The women.
Same.
Are you proud to be an American?
Not especially.
Are you proud to be an American?
At the moment, no.
Why not?
Donald Trump.
I wouldn't say I have a lot of pride.
No, I don't.
Are you proud to be American?
Yes, definitely.
I was the first person in my family to be born in the United States.
Do you think patriotism is a good thing?
No.
Why not?
It creates division.
It's like religion.
Everyone's sold the American dream of freedom and liberty and doing what you want to,
but when you look at the news and you see that there are plenty of people who are restricted
of those freedoms, it makes you upset about what you've been sold,
and it seems like kind of a lie.
What do you think is the worst part of America?
Boston.
What's caused the downfall in America?
Uh, personally?
Fascism.
Capitalism.
Capitalism?
Capitalism.
Putting the buck before the person.
America, in a way, is the land of selfishness to the extreme.
You think white people have an advantage in this country?
Oh, for sure.
Where do you see the direction of the country heading now?
More towards third world country.
More violent.
Starting to be more and more impacted by economic disparity and climate change.
I think incorporating more diversity in the White House and in decision making
could be a step forward.
Involving minority decisions overall, just like painting a glaze of liberalness
over every decision that's being made, pretty much.
I feel like we need like a Black lesbian woman president.
Yeah, I would totally agree.
The sooner they can get rid of Donald Trump, the better the future is going to be.
