The more I learn and think about it, the more I conclude that over the years, we Americans just bought too damn much in to our own mythology and general BS, such as American exceptionalism, America being 'automatically great,' and democracy being a birthright.

We came to think that we were 'special' and 'bullet-proof' in a sense, not unlike how peoples of earlier nations and civilisations made that same, fatal mistake. Finally, we are now seeing the brutally ugly results of what happens when a people get drunk on their flatulence. So to speak.
