Can someone tell me why Americans think that America is the best country in the world? Aside from the massive propaganda machine of course

It seems like there's a lot that is not that great:

Poverty, poor education, expensive healthcare, massive rates of incarceration, rampant obesity, huge hard drug imports, incredible racial tension.
I mean, the US is a developed nation for crying out loud.

Right because national patriotism is created, fostered and held solely by Americans.

Not at all. But right now we're talking about America. Please try to focus

There are many very public statements to the contrary from Americans, please try to pay attention.

I'm not sure I have time to counter all your foolishness right now so I'll just leave you with this. The current president of the United States of America won on the slogan [b][c=#BF0000]"Make America great again"[/c][/b]. So I don't know Inflammatory Joe, I'm pretty sure I know exactly what I'm talking about.

@Halcyon:

lol aw name-calling now? Did i hurt your feewings?

You know why that slogan worked? Because it was patriotic and meaningless. It appealed to the masses to whom "great again" mean more jobs and fewer foreigners.
