    1. Who believes that the US is better than other countries? Like, genuinely, not in a patriotic way, but actually, objectively? It’s an absurd idea. More powerful? Yes. Better? No.

      This should be obvious.

    2. From a Scandinavian viewpoint:

      Irrespective of political affiliation, believing in something as simple as „The US stands above all other countries“ is dangerous. It shows a very basic understanding of the world and the myriad problems that all countries and societies face, the solution to which are very rarely easy, and often different solutions directly contradict each other.

      Anecdotally the vast majority of Americans I have met outside of USA are democrats or at least left-leaning with much more nuanced views on both their home country and the rest of the world. This correlates well with the presented data here. It’s probably easier to believe USA is the pinnacle of human development if one has never seen anything else.

    3. Thinking the US is exceptional is exactly what got them into this mess. This cult-like mentality prevents them from being critical of things like their government, institutions and constitution. Other countries update their constitution but Americans treat it like it’s a holy scripture. This will be their downfall.

      Am I the only one who is incredibly vexed that the latter two questions are not categorically exclusive?

    5. Those answer options feel… Idk. Unbalanced? Leading? I can’t put my finger on it but they just feel wrong.

      Who the hell was selected for this question? I’ve talked with plenty of Americans and 90% of them tell me that the US sucks more dick than Trump within 5 feet of Bill…

    7. What annoys me with these charts is that the age ranges are never consistent, sometimes so inconsistent as to be useless.
      This one goes; 12 years, 15, 20, 20+

      I once heard this described in a very intriguing way. Conservatives love America the way a child loves their parent. Dad is the greatest strongest best guy ever. They don’t see flaws, they see nothing but a glowing wonder that is their parent. Liberals love America the way a person loves their spouse. They see flaws, room for growth, places where compromises have happened, but overall have a great and even deeper love for their country, but they also want to see it become the best version of itself and realize that it isn’t perfect. Both perspectives are normal when you think of them like this, and both sides really do love the country, just differently.

    9. Having 30% of a population think they are the best is wild

      The US are really unique. Even north korea has less efficient propaganda

      America is one of the best on some metrics and not on others. People who demonize it as the worst AND people who worship it as the best have both digested too much propaganda. Nuance exists

    11. Why the discrepancy between women and men?

      Also , some people may have thought it was a trap /s
