Could these two stories be related?

Story 1: Gallup: Republicans more proud to be American than Democrats
...."Ninety-three percent of Republicans indicate that they are “extremely/very proud” to be American while only 85 percent of Democrats feel the same way.
Eighty-one percent of political Independents indicate they are “extremely/very proud.”
"Likewise, 89 percent of poll respondents who identified themselves as conservative are “extremely/very proud,” to be American compared to 76 percent of liberals."

Story 2:  American Flags Ripped Down Day Before Turlock Fourth Of July Parade

"A stunning act of vandalism right before the Fourth of July had Turlock residents and workers scrambling to fix American flags.

"It’s almost inconceivable and it is certainly extremely disrespectful.
Vandals damaged about a dozen flags put up in downtown for Turlock’s big parade, jumping to pull the stars and stripes down with their weight, severely bending the poles."
