>Small town Americans don't take pride in their ignorance?
No, they don't. Not really.
People joke about it ironically. Seething Europeans obsess over Americans not caring to memorize every piece of pointless trivia about their irrelevant country.

In my experience, most dumb Americans don't care they are dumb. Just just accept who they are and live their life in peace. They may boast about America and guns and so on, but will be humble and earnest in nature.

Meanwhile, dumb Europeans pretend they are smart. This quickly turns into a toxic arrogance that prevents any further enlightenment. Europeans are often extremely ignorant while having no clue at all how little they really know and are absolutely incapable of correcting their ignorance.
