Ignorance is bliss. It’s that simple. There are a lot of Americans people no lack the emotional intelligence and maturity to admit when they are wrong. Add to that a lifelong indoctrination (in-school pledge of allegiance, national anthem at sporting events, Hollywood, and country music), and the social stigma of going against the patriotic grain, and you’ve got a recipe for America is the best. It also doesn’t help that schools are mandated to teach a one-sided history that makes America look good.
