Or they could realize the reality of the situation without making it about taking credit for being "the best". As an American I know our country sucks, especially now, and also that it's important for global stability.

Nah, it's probably what you said. I just truly think the US is way better than any other country. /s

Edit: I missed that they wrote "most". In my defense though a lot of users are currently cruelly shitting on Americans unconditionally. A lot of us didn't want this bullshit
