I wonder if Europeans feel the same way.
"We might have had a little self-contained unrest, but at least we aren't the French."
Social media coverage is going to correlate harder with narrative than with actual impact. We Americans have some of the most integrated social media around. Seems plausible that we'd get the strongest effects. We certainly don't have the level of chaos that you'd see from an actual insurgency.
On the flip side, there's a long tradition of Europeans calling us rambunctious, uncouth, or politically unstable. Some of that was surely due to our Special Relationship with the Brits, but still, we don't have a reputation for docility.
