American Exceptionalism might be the most successful propaganda project of all time. So many people (not just Americans either) have bought in completely to the idea that America is the Best Country In The World™ and refuse to budge despite the mountains of evidence to the contrary.
The Newsroom is Libslop but that monologue on "how is america the greatest country in the world" hit the nail on the fucking head and that was almost 20 years ago. America has never been the greatest yet legions of people have the unshakable faith that there's no place better in the world
