But don’t despair — Americans are more united than we might seem. Trump is obviously divisive. But Americans still trust some of our most important institutions, are still patriotic and even agree on some big political questions.

Americans may be losing faith in Congress, but they still love the military, the police, small businesses and God. According to Gallup’s long-running survey on confidence in institutions, 73 percent of Americans have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the military. Despite difficult national conversations about police-involved shootings and criminal-justice reform, just over half of Americans have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of faith in the police, and 31 percent have at least “some.” And Americans love small business. We even share a faith in faith: The Pew Research Center found that 80 percent of Americans believe in God or some sort of higher power — though there are significant splits over whether that higher power is the God of the Christian Bible.

Despite the turbulence of our politics, we’re generally still proud to be Americans. In July, Gallup found that 7 in 10 Americans were either “extremely” proud or “very” proud to be Americans. That’s a low level compared to recent years (in 2013, 85 percent were either extremely or very proud to be American), but it’s still high in objective terms. Republicans and Democrats also agree that respecting U.S. laws, believing in freedoms such as freedom of speech and accepting people of different racial and religious backgrounds are all important parts of being “Truly American” — though those shared values haven’t prevented bitter fights over immigration policy, media bias and more.
