Europeans are discovering the exceptionality of America during the World Cup and they are shocked. They are so used to hearing about how awful America is from their own media, and then they come visit, and see it is much different from what they've been told. They fall in love. Who could blame them?
What do you make of all of the Europeans coming to America, shooting guns, and experiencing our national pride?

They are discovering it was all propaganda and America is awesome.
Americans really don’t understand how much worse life is for the average European than it is for the average American. Once you leave the Four Seasons in Paris and go experience how normal people live, you realize how blessed you are to be an American. https://t.co/U2wjdm4OsO

Jesse Kelly wants his audience to know and appreciate how much better they have it in America, and how most Europeans live is not at all appealing.

Doctors in the UK barely make six figures. That's how bad it is.
I understand…I’ve been stationed here for a couple years and counting the days until I get back to wide roads and central air conditioning.

Also, Americans drive on the right side of the road.
I love to visit Europe. I’ve been all over but the one thing every country has in common is that by day 10 I can’t wait to leave.

Getting home to the creature comforts of America is unmatched.

In plenty of apartments in Scandinavia, they don’t have designated showers/tubs in their bathrooms…it’s a shower handle attached to the sink with a drain somewhere in there…you literally have to shower in the middle of your bathroom and try not to get everything else wet…

That sounds like prisons in America.
That's the problem with international travel. Anericans stay at high end hotels and think that's what European is. Europeans go to New York and think the US is inhabited by nothing but obnoxious assholes.

That's why all the Europeans were particularly tickled to be in the American South. That's extra heavy-duty hospitality.
The size of their housing. It dates back to feudal times, when the landowners got all the space they wanted and squeezed the peasants into whatever was left.

We won the lottery being born here. Fight for it.

It's worth it.
Visiting or living in Europe you very quickly realize almost no one has any hope of upward mobility … and only a tiny select few have any disposable income

And they seem conditioned to accept that as normal - or oddly, a sign of morality
It’s a little sad
That's not how the system should be set up in any country.
We visited Europe and they were blown away by the size of our "starter home" and it's yard.

One bedroom homes with the kids sleeping in the bedroom and parents sleeping on a pull-out couch are common.
Lived in Spain for a year for work, Barcelona specifically. Was counting down the days to get back to Colorado. Cool to visit, good food, atrocious living standards

100 percent accurate.

Got a visit by an old college friend who had since moved to Europe for a couple of decades. My small, air conditioned house and modest plot of land were like a mansion to them.
Just a bit of a reality check for discouraged Americans.
