It's due to the media, and also the amount of information that is available to us on world wide web. No one is patriotic anymore due to the fact everyone is preoccupied with fame, money, face book, and reality TV. Nowadays so many people have so many opinions and theories that they think they are all experts!
Not all of us are like that though. I am young adult who is part of the next generation of Americans, and I believe we see more then our elders do. I personally believe the whole world is falling apart NOT just America. Economies are collapsing, governments are falling, and corruption is at its highest.
The problem is we can't do anything about it. It's sad that our country is in the hands of lying, spiteful, and careless monsters, but what can we do? They are going to screw this place up and leave everything for my generation and the generations to come to fix. They are throwing us under the bus basically.
Honestly, most Americans today believe that what ever the situation anywhere life still goes on, and worrying about anything will not improve it, and that people should just live their lives. THAT is why nothing is getting done about it.
That's my opinion.
