American: makes any sort of joke about any country, even if it's the smallest most unoffending thing

Person from that country : ur children get shot in schools

We might overuse that comeback, but at least we don't have school shootings.

At least over here we do have some school shootings even with stricter European gun control laws. It‘s just not as prevalent as in the US.

I guess sometimes overly criticising the US can be seen as some kind of envy. The freedom we admire but the shortcomings we don’t want to have or admit. It‘s just that this extreme bipartisanship and reluctance to talk civilly with each other is disheartening to see.
