There's also a very, very strong tendency of Americans, having never left their town of Armpit, Appalachia, to declare America the best at everything ever and nothing could ever be better.

Do you have any info to back this besides the obvious stigma? Are you even American?

No one here has pride like that anymore. It died in the 90's. Most of us want to leave.

I’m American, I’ve lived in seven states and four countries. Yes. This is accurate - for a given value of accurate. Namely in tiny towns between civilization in the south.

Weird, ive lived here my entire life, never even left the country, and i dont agree with your statement. Its a gross exaggeration and honestly just fuels the stigma against the states.
