I's not hubris I'm exhibiting, it's schadenfreude.

After years of being on the sending end of relentless propaganda from the other side of the Channel or Atlantic telling me how reactionary/declining/cowardly/treasonous/failing I was, is it so unacceptable to be able to say "we told you so?"

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

I would hope your 'schadenfreude' is directed at the tiny number of Americans who were telling you 'how reactionary/declining/cowardly/treasonous/failing' you were and not the vast majority of Americans.
