It must be really terrible to be a true believer in American exceptionalism. The average American surely doesn't believe that anymore. And if you're believer (from a regular person to columnist) - how can you possibly explain to the unwashed American masses the glory that is their country? All the go-tos are clearly bullshit: the American dream, democracy, the constitution, the American legal system, no one is above the law, free speech, free assembly, etc. And Epstein, the measles, the crippling of the American government, the rise of anti-science, etc are in the news daily.

What's scary on top of that - is the American military is still a thing of power. I guess that'll be the new "proof" of American exceptionalism: murder, killing, violence, and war.

You forgot one of the funniest, but I guess it could fall under ''democracy''. The ''checks and balances'' bullshit, it always cracks me up when a lib believes it.

My favorite is the Emoluments Clause which Trump violated tens of millions of times in his first term and in his second term he ramped things up so he's violated it few billion times with each dollar he's grifted.
