it's nice to see someone in the US questioning US exceptionalism
All of the people I chat or e-chat with here on a regular basis question it -- indeed, go beyond mere questioning of it! Really it's only politicians, media blowhards and the terminally dimwitted who make much of an issue of American exceptionalism: most of the rest of the population have seen through that particular piece of demagogic, manipulative tripe.
That said, you still have plenty of people with the "but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else" attitude. But I guess that's true in plenty of countries, not just the US.
