What % of Americans suck? [View all]

You always hear politicians and the media push the narrative that Americans for the most part are good, noble, hardworking, god fearing people....but to be honest we are some of the biggest self centered jerks and assholes. We are a highly individualistic and entitled culture and often trample people under our feet. But of course if you admit that, or call people deplorable, or put a percentage on how many assholes we have you get persecuted. But I see it all day in different aspects and scenarios of American life, whether it is terrible coworkers, jerks driving, an idiot at the store, someone being stupid at a park, some tough guy on social media, people not wearing masks, of course people’s political beliefs, etc.... so what % of Americans do you think suck. I actually think it’s pretty high.
