I'm fairly sure this isn't confined to Australia

I’m an Aussie residing overseas. This is definitely not a saying exclusive to Australians.

This is as accurate AF

Never heard that in my life...

America includes all of north and south america, but somehow the USA made it their own. Makes sense, since they assume the whole world revolves around them.

I'm Australian and yep - I say it a fair bit. But then we got a Prime Minister who is Trump Lite so payback is happening...

We definitely say this A LOT.

Can confirm, Canadian. We say it too

Yep, use it routinely in the U.K. "It could be worse, we could be in America." Let's face it, between abject poverty and homelessness, atrocious healthcare costs, frequent riots, uncontrolled gun violence and until recently Trump, it was just a way to make anyone in the developed world feel better, lol! I think we've all learnt that the REAL America is more like Breaking Bad than Home Alone.

Not buying it.

We say it in NZ

I'm Canadian. Pretty sure I've said something like this before. "Could be worse. We could live in America,".

Get down on my knees regularly to say the same.

We say it in the UK too.

Its the go to comment for about almost any democratic country I would say. Same as I say, at least I’m not as bad off as my brothers...

We do that in Sweden to 🤷‍♀️

thank you, MAGA

For the record, we don't say this.

The truth should never embarrass you. It's true America is a cluster p***k right now

I think a lot of places say this.

We do the same thing here in Canada

In a word ... garbage!

It's true we do say that and we're correct. We also only in America.

I'd say this is something said in many more countries - folk here say it in Scotland on opposite side of the planet to Australia

We say that in Canada too!

So for some of y'all saying you've never heard it, this is almost exclusive to the younger generations (late millennials, gen z). We use it pretty much everyday. In Australia by the way.

I'm American, and I approve of this post.

Do we?

This is not a common expression.

Can confirm this is 100% true

As an American, I resemble that remark.

If you're just now beginning to feel embarrassed, you haven't been paying attention.

Damn! If only that weren't spot on.

Ignorance begets ignorance.

Coming to the land of the free, don't let them take your guns as this will be your last line of defence. Government's serve the people, not the other way round and this plandemic is going to turn into a climatedemic.
