According to the survey findings cited in the report, voters who support AOC-style policies reportedly view several foreign nations more favorably than the United States itself. The numbers presented show 81 percent expressing a favorable view of France, 79 percent for the United Kingdom, and 67 percent for Germany, while the United States itself registers at 57 percent.
America? Fifty-seven percent.
They literally like France more than their own country.
The polling, which is said to be based on 3,000 registered voters with a margin of error of 1.8 points, is presented by critics as evidence of a growing ideological split in how different political coalitions view the nation and its role in the world.
This isn’t a fringe finding buried in a footnote.
Rasmussen’s Napolitan Institute surveyed 3,000 registered voters with a margin of error of 1.8 points.
The numbers, as described in the report, are interpreted by commentators as showing a clear divide: one political faction that maintains strong national pride regardless of who holds power, and another that appears more conditional in its support for the country depending on political leadership and policy direction.
Compare that to Republicans.
Gallup’s long-term patriotism data shows conservative pride in America stays high regardless of who holds the White House – because Republicans are proud of the country’s founding and its system, not just who’s running it.
Socialist Democrats flip to proud when they hold power.
Some aren’t even proud then.
From there, the report pivots sharply toward a specific congressional race that critics say illustrates these broader trends in a more tangible and controversial way.
The Candidate Who Proves the Point
In New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, Democrats recently nominated Adam Hamawy for Congress, a development that has drawn scrutiny from political commentators citing his past associations and testimony.
Hamawy had a yearslong relationship with Omar Abdel-Rahman – the Blind Sheikh – the arch-terrorist convicted of seditious conspiracy in 1995 after his followers carried out the World Trade Center bombing and plotted additional attacks across New York City.
According to the claims outlined in the report, Hamawy did not simply know Abdel-Rahman, but served as a personal translator, later testifying as a defense witness during federal proceedings. The account further states that he acknowledged hearing Abdel-Rahman preach jihad against the United States.
Hamawy didn’t just know the man.
He served as the Blind Sheikh’s personal translator, testified as a defense witness at his federal terrorism trial, and by his own admission told the court he had personally heard Abdel-Rahman preach jihad against the United States.
The report also alleges that Hamawy traveled to Bosnia to volunteer with an organization later described by critics as having links to an al-Qaeda front network. These claims have become a flashpoint in online political debate following his nomination.
Hamawy also traveled to Bosnia to volunteer with an organization later unmasked as an al-Qaeda front group.
Despite these controversies, the Democratic nomination has proceeded, which critics argue highlights what they see as a breakdown in candidate vetting or a willingness to overlook past associations in favor of ideological alignment.
The story becomes even more emotionally charged when tied to the geography of the district itself.
NJ-12 includes a small township called Cranbury.
That’s where Todd Beamer lived with his wife and children before September 11, 2001.
Todd Beamer, remembered nationally as a passenger on United Flight 93, became a symbol of resistance during the 9/11 attacks after famously saying “Let’s roll” before attempting to retake control of the hijacked aircraft.
“Let’s roll”
He and other passengers are credited with preventing the plane from reaching its intended target in Washington, D.C., sacrificing their lives in the process.
Beamer died stopping that attack.
His final resting place is in Cranbury.
The same district that just nominated a man who defended the network that murdered him.
The report also highlights the role of prominent political commentators in the broader controversy, noting that Hamawy’s most vocal supporter includes Hasan Piker, a figure known for provocative political commentary and past statements that have sparked widespread criticism.
Hamawy’s most vocal supporter is Hasan Piker – the man who publicly declared that America deserved the September 11 attacks.
The piece argues that these connections, combined with polling data suggesting diminished national pride among certain voter blocs, reflect a deeper ideological transformation within segments of the Democratic Party.
As the analysis concludes, supporters of the report say the trends point toward a party increasingly shaped by globalist or anti-establishment sentiments rather than traditional national pride, while critics counter that such interpretations are politically motivated and overgeneralized.
Still, the broader question raised by the polling and the controversy remains central to the debate: whether America’s political divide is now as much about identity and national loyalty as it is about policy.
And for many observers, that question is only becoming more urgent as elections approach.
