It is kinda funny watching the American Exceptionalism finally crumble before our eyes. Shame most Americans aren't reflective enough to realise what's happening.

This 100%. You’re getting downvoted but I don’t think Americans realize how irritating their fellow countrymen can be on the internet and in person to non Americans. There’s also the defaultism as if everyone is American (or wants to be American) which gets REALLY tiring after a while

American exceptionalism is the belief that word special, for good or bad. It's just pouring on a different kind of Americans exceptionalists, the one who think our trajectory is something new.

Also, we do. A lot of us do....
