A new finds that only about 1 in 3 Americans believe the Founding Fathers would consider the nation they founded to be a success on this Fourth of July weekend, 245 year later.

In fact, 41% believe the Founders would consider the nation a failure.

In the annual Fourth of July poll from Rasmussen, asked whether the Founding Fathers would consider the United States as it is today to be a success or failure, only 34% of adults answered that it would be considered a success by the likes of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson.

Exact Question polled: If the Founding Fathers came back today, would they consider the United States a success or a failure?

A year ago, during President Donald Trump‘s last year in office and as a pandemic was underway, the result was 6 points higher, at 40% who said the Founders would consider the nation a success.

This year, the forty find failure, as 41% of adults chose that option to represent how the Founders would feel about the Republic they forged.

In the poll, 25% were unsure.

Rasmussen notes that the 41% is still down from a high in 2013 of a stunning 49% who selected “failure” in 2013.

The survey of 1,000 U.S. American Adults was conducted on June 28-29, 2021 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

Also in the poll, 74% correctly identified the Fourth of July as a celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The “unsure” and those who incorrectly selected the ratification of the Constitution as the event commemorated were split at 13% each.

Well I mean, the most recent presidential inauguration for the most popular U.S. president in history looked more like a military coup than a celebration, and just a few weeks ago a Dem politician admitted on live cable news that they consider the American flag to be offensive.

So yeah, peak Americana kinda ended a long ass time ago.

As retarded as boomer Republicans are for thinking we can bring back the culture and prosperity of the 1950s or whatever fucking era they jack off to, I can at least sympathize with them on some level.

These polls suck ass by the way. I shouldn't put too much into biased reporting though.
 
I've said it before: Were you to bring them into this modern clown world, they'd be stacking bodies before breakfast was over.
 
Anyone who takes polls at face-value deserves the rope for the betterment of humanity.

If 2016 didn't show you how useless they are you're fucking worse than a person who's deaf, dumb, and blind at figuring out the political mood of those around you.

Yeah. Everything was better when you’re 22, but bringing back politicians like you had when you were 22 doesn’t make you 22. We all get old and time makes fools of us all. Can’t blame people for wanting to go back to happier days, though.
 
If George Washington came back today he'd be asking who let all those Hessian mercenaries in.
 
Sounds like a bunch of people polled are stupid as shit and have no idea how bad things were back when the USA was founded. The way that the United States has changed the entire world and the human condition at large is nothing short of miraculous. That this fact is so lost on the witless masses is just a testament to this nation's success in divorcing people from the constant struggles of the past.
 
America is a success, not because of any particular regime in Washington, but despite all manner of regimes on Washington over the years. Dumb and Dumber (Biden and Harris) will pass.

For all its' faults, America is still a place of opportunity. And if you get government and the media out of the picture, there's a lot of tolerance among the American people.

Americans still publicly debate issues concerning the entire country. Americans have no trouble protesting excesses and abuses by the government/business/etc.

America will be a failure only when the numbers leaving the country for good are greater than those wanting to come to the country.
 
I think there is a lot about America today that would disgust the Framers. Allowing the Government to get so large and powerful, allowing the Government to have such authority over the day-to-day lives of the People, how many rights and liberties the People have allowed to be taken from them or surrendered willingly, the amount of debt our country has taken on, the fact that our economy is so closely tied to other countries and that we've moved so much of our ability to be self-sufficient overseas, the fact that so many in our Government care more about outsiders than they do about the Citizens...the US has definitely strayed a far ways off from what our Founding Fathers wanted for the United States. However, despite all that, there is a lot that the US has done right. Hopefully one day we can start moving back to what our Founding Fathers wanted and can incorporate the success we have with those views. Doubtful, but not impossible.
