the difference in the 70s was that the Left, for the most part, still believed in America and American values
I don't know about that. Populism was pretty entrenched in the left by then. The nuclear family was being intentionally disintegrated, starting in the 60s with welfare and continuing into the 70s with 2nd wave feminism, distrusting and protesting the "Establishment" (which is a term that eventually fell out of favor among the populists on the left and now has been picked up by populists on the right) was probably most popular with the left around that time period, etc.

half the country now literally thinks America is an evil country.
A good sight more than half. Remember that thread not too long ago here that posed the hypothetical about a foreign power attacking America on our own soil? Probably a slight majority of posters on that thread said they wouldn't fight to defend it. On our own soil.
Again, and again, and again, and again, that's the problem with populism. It creates absurd (using the word's literal meaning), unreasonable degrees of discontent.
Neither the majority of the people on the left OR the right love America anymore. They love conspiracy theories and victimhood instead.

What is this you are talking about?
Reality. You should come out of your bubble sometime and live in it.

Conservatives by far outnumber liberals.
Based on what.

Don't steal my lines, especially when ignoring reality to do so, please.

Why can't Republicans win the popular vote then? Huh?
Mostly because Republicans aren’t conservatives.

Are you new to this country? Or posting from a different one?

We may be outnumbered but we are not outgunned
