This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Check out the difference between the group of blue vs yellow: <$50k has 4% more people who think US is the best vs people who think that other countries are better.
$100k has 1% more people who think that the US is the best place vs the opposite.
That means, in total, the group of <$50k is more pro-US-superiority than the group of $100k.
That is data from the chart, nothing else.
Where is there a trend? There is no trend of the pro US side, there is a trend on the anti US side. And that trend on the anti US side is the opposite of what you are saying.
Three data points is by far too little to extrapolate anything at all.
So I was talking about the people who think that the USA is the best country in the world (the delusional ones). And you started talking about people who think that the USA is either better or just as good (so you included non-delusional people as well).
Great way to massage the data to make it work for you.
My first statement still stands truthful and correct:
The majority of delusional people are rich, old, conservative republican men.
