    American Exceptionalism has a lot to do with landmass. The average European country is around 100,000 square miles and the US is 3.8 million square miles. Most of the land wasn’t even spoken for due to the Native American Genocide.

    Imagine any single European country receiving the equivalent of an entire uncontested continent of resources. When you look at it that way you see that the US is like a nepo baby who has never been told no.
