According to Pew Research, here is a synopsis of how the views of the United States population have changed during the past twenty years

The past two decades have witnessed the emergence of all sorts of technologies that let people interact with the world in new ways.

Since 2008, fewer than 30% of Americans have said they trust the government to do the right thing all or most of the time.

The U.S. has become much more diverse over the past 20 years on several measures, including immigrant status. Today, immigrants account for 13.8 % of the nation's population  – near the record high from 1890 – and they have come from just about every country in the world.

Americans display a broad dissatisfaction with politics. As trust in political institutions declines, few Americans now think the political system is working even somewhat well. Majorities say that most elected officials don't care what people like them think and that ordinary people have too little influence on Congress’ decision-making. And most see little or no common ground  between Republicans and Democrats

Many Americans describe themselves as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.” This group is referred to as religious "nones." Religious nones are currently one of the largest religious groups in the United States.https://www.pewresearch.org/2024/09/13/how-us-public-opinion-has-changed-in-20-years-of-our-surveys/
