I don't think USA peeps realise how much they dominate the cultural hegemony of the rest of the world, especially in English-speaking countries. We have to base our politics and phraseology around whatever you guys are up to (even when our problems are different to yours), we watch your films and TV shows, we listen to your music and we eat your food. Our leaders prostrate themselves before your leaders and beg for good trade deals, beg for military aid, beg for humanitarian aid, or an end to trade embargos. You guys can pretend you don't live in the most powerful country in the world, you can pretend you aren't the biggest exporters of both hard and soft power in the world, but we live with you in our ears. I could put on a passable American accent from the age of 10, and now the accents of my parents are getting harder to force my tongue around, but American accents are so ubiquitous that I will never have the opportunity to forget what they sound like. I can name 10+ cities in the USA, but I can't name the capitol cities of most countries. This is not a call to action, this is just a reminder: the USA is not the whole world. Other countries exist and have problems you cannot neatly map onto struggles within America. We have cultures and practices you might not understand, and that's OK. Just don't force us to conform to a very narrow view of American ideology and political theory. We aren't you. We don't have to be.
