American's Believe in the L.E.A.D. (Lies, Emotion, Assumption, Delusion/Deception/Denial) Theory

The phrase "Americans delusion of the real world" refers to a perception that Americans are disconnected from the realities faced by much of the world, and even from each other, due to factors like a focus on internal affairs, the influence of a highly curated media and entertainment landscape, and certain national myths. This delusion is theorized to stem from a comfortable, though perhaps shrinking, prosperity that makes it hard to imagine life without it, the pervasive "metaverse" of social media and reality television, and an outdated belief in the "American dream" or a uniquely exceptional role for the U.S. globally
