There are a few ways to look at the “2017’s Most Patriotic States in America” study released by WalletHub on Tuesday.
One would be to frame it as an edict that the “least patriotic states voted for Hillary Clinton” as a conservative outlet did a few hours ago.
That’s all well and good, I suppose.
I choose, however, to see how Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey fared.
This isn’t to make a point about a Pennsylvania that voted for Donald Trump or a New Jersey that’s led by highly unpopular Republican Gov. Chris Christie.
It’s all about proximity. And, quite frankly, the results are disappointing.
Not only are all three in the bottom 10 states when “13 key indicators of patriotism” were tabulated. But, for the second consecutive year, New Jersey is the least patriotic state in all the land.
