Correct. I think the entire premise that an American would question this idea is an indication that the meme was made by somebody from a country with one of these pins in it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending this mindset. I am myself an American making this observation with a sense of shame and mild horror.

Yeah, I abolutely agree. In American culture, this is treated more like a natural law, like the Sun rising each day or objects falling down when dropped. It is just something self-evident and isn't even a thought that occurs in most American's heads.

It is self evident that America is the world's only super power.

Going by experience here, the American WILL question this idea the very seconds the foreign has a diverging opinion or calls them out on something.
