Because for around 250 years all they've heard is that America is the greatest, strongest, most powerful entity, with blessings from God himself.

Which is all true, of course.

But the real problem is those blasted cell phones, and their social media.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Can I make tea out of it?

Only if you live in Boston.

Because we're better than you. Not in a sense of "you" as in people of your nationality, but you specifically. And not "us" as in a general "you are below America's median awesomeness" but as in every last American is better than you specifically. Even the really awful ones. Don't worry though, most other nations can make the same claim.
