The odd thing is that the best argument against the revered American exceptionalism is today's Republican party. There is little exceptional about it and it is not so much specifically American as generically nationalistic in a way so many right wing nationalists around the world are.

Yes, I've been nothing but a champion of the notion of American exceptionalism. Patriot and institutionalist define me in total.
Mencken might've been a greater proponent of the concept of American exceptionalism than I am. I've probably set a record for use of the term "Idiocracy."
