       “American exceptionalism” also includes the US being exceptionally bad in an existential sense that requires no self-reflection by the evaluator.  This is not because we are “not so bad after all,” but rather because (1) we have goodness too but more importantly (2) other places have badness that needs examining rather than being excused by burying it under US exceptionalism.
