American exceptionalism is ingrained so deep in most people here that they would never even consider or doubt why the world pays attention to them, just: "Duh of course they do, because we're America!"
Correct. I think the entire premise that an American would question this idea is an indication that the meme was made by somebody from a country with one of these pins in it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending this mindset. I am myself an American making this observation with a sense of shame and mild horror.
Going by experience here, the American WILL question this idea the very seconds the foreign has a diverging opinion or calls them out on something.
