> Everyone outside the US knows the top US politicians. You even know what issues they are discussing, like gun control and healthcare.
"Everyone" is not the right word here. People speaking english on the internet probably know about those to a superficial level. There's a lot english speaking of people on the US, so we hear about your issues.

> You know what movies are big in the US. You know what songs are popular.
Agreed here, people really like US movies and songs.
