"In the United States of America".

The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?

One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.

    Even the American left has had their national exceptionalism so deeply ingrained that they cant stop screaming "We're number 1!" while they are drowning.

    Thats why they were the perfect mark. The idea that it could happen to them was so preposterous.

    I really prefer when people write "/s" for sarcasm. With Poe's Law and all it is virtually impossible to distinguish sarcasm on the written internet.

    I know, I usually do.

    But with this I thought it was laid on thick enough so the people who read it as sarcasm read it as sarcasm and the people who don't deserve to live in confusion.
