From what I have observed over the years Americans like algebra, the Dow Jones, the Super Bowl, the flag, guns and peanut butter & jelly.

One Party After Another: The Disruptive Life of Nigel Farage review – the man who broke Britain
Michael Crick’s gripping and vivid study of Mr Brexit is full of revelatory stories, but pulls its punches at the end
"An aide to Farage when he was an MEP, tells Crick that his boss hated policy meetings. “He was totally out of his bloody depth. Intelligent people – he was scared of them. He has an inferiority complex about education and highly qualified people.”
