As an American expat, this is exactly the mentality of the large majority of Americans in my view. They're a bunch of spoiled brats who think they're entitled to a life of luxury just because of their nationality. They got this view because of the huge economic boom after WWII, when America was the only industrial power standing and profited massively from rebuilding. Now that other economies have risen and are seriously competing with them, they're mad that life isn't so easy now and will vote for anyone who promises to make their gasoline cheap again.
