Summary

This quote reflects the internal conflict between rational thinking and emotional attachment to one's country. Intellectually, the speaker acknowledges that America is no superior to any other nation and rejects any notion of exceptionalism. However, on an emotional level, the speaker holds a deep affection and pride for America, perceiving it as superior to all other countries. This quote suggests the complexity of national identity and the psychological tug between reason and sentiment that influences one's perspective on their country's place in the world.

But perhaps in part they are distinct, whether we like it or not.
