Oh, I see where you got confused. When people say ā€˜Americans do somethingā€™ they mean ā€˜most Americans do itā€™ or ā€˜significant portion of American population do itā€™, not ā€˜all Americans do itā€™. You see, countries are big and there are a lot of people in them and it very rare for everyone in a country to think exactly the same. Thatā€™s why we usually focus on the prevailing attitudes that shape the country over the years instead of looking for believes shared by ALL citizens (because they donā€™t exists). Currently over 40% of Americans believe that ā€œGod has granted America a special role in human historyā€ and it was way higher in the not so distant past, thatā€™s why someone could say that ā€œAmericans believe itā€. Hope this helps.

No American Iā€™ve ever met, online or off, believes this. Hope this helps.

ā€œIt doesnā€™t exist in my bubble so the researchers are wrongā€.

ā€œSome Americans believe this, therefore the Americans who donā€™t and are actually trying to fix this Godforsaken country, and get upset when people accuse them of believing it, are hypocrites and crybabies who canā€™t take criticism.ā€
