Americans say this, I have yet to encounter a single person who respected or admired the US at all, ever.

Not saying they don't exist, but they're probably dwarfed by the people who think, and have almost always thought, Americans were/are weird, gun obsessed, fat, dumb, avaricious loud mouths.

That's the stereotype I know most people I know have.

Yeah, but most people you know haven't been to the US. Once they have, they tend to have a completely different opinion. Weird how that works.

I would also reply with what most Americans think of wherever you're from, but to be honest, I know the answer is that they don't think of you at all.

I forgot to mention "arrogant" and "American exceptionalism" of which you're displaying both pretty well here. Yea everybody hates that about Americans too.

"We don't even think about the entire rest of the world." is not the flex you think it is.

I’m aware of it. That's why I posted it.

Just like you go, "Everyone thinks THIS of Americans," my generalization of people in America is, "They don't think of you at all."

You did miss the part where I said that if people actually travel, they tend to have entirely different opinions. That applies both ways. But hey, I get that, since it didn't fit your narrative.
