No American I've ever met, online or off, believes this. Hope this helps.
"It doesn't exist in my bubble so the researchers are wrong".
"Some Americans believe this, therefore the Americans who don't and are actually trying to fix this Godforsaken country, and get upset when people accuse them of believing it, are hypocrites and crybabies who can't take criticism."
I know how you feel but you have to understand that the memes are not about you personally. We know that most Americans on lemmy are the cool ones. The ones that don't have guns and are not afraid of socialism. The memes are about the other Americans and, you know, we're just joshing. I though that's obvious, that's why I asked why everyone is suddenly so touchy about it. Usually the cool Americans are in on the joke. Now they are all sensitive about it. It's just weird.
Thank you for that. But I'm having a hard time believing that one comment from me reflects the feelings of "everyone"
