Plus, your understanding of the meaning of American exceptionalism is totally bonkers. The roots of American exceptionalism lie in the fallacy of the Shining City on the Hill, and that the idea we are Chosen by God and are remarkable and unlike every other empire before us.

The fact you attribute "American exceptionalism" to critics is positively absurd.

Read some theory, please. For example:

From the birth of what is now the world’s oldest republic, the inspirational notion of the “city upon a hill” has resided somewhere deep in the American psyche. As Tom Paine put it, “The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.” The United States, in other words, was exceptional, not driven merely by the interests and ambitions of any nation scrambling for land and treasure, but summoned to ensure that, in Lincoln’s words, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” At the heart of American exceptionalism lies a messianic streak, the belief in a country with a global calling to uplift.

Or perhaps

In recent years, the term has also been used to describe an alleged phenomenon wherein certain political interests, to include the George W. Bush Administration, along with Americans subscribing to the political theory of neoconservativism, along with certain other US individuals and interests, allegedly view the United States as somehow being "above" or being an "exception" to the law, specifically the Law of Nations.

They are unable to adapt to the times, and understand that an imposing set of [chose from: knockers, torpedoes, gonzagas, tits, boobs, headlights, jugs, lungs, love pillows, jamochas, breasts], especially those artificially enhanced by insertion of saline or silicon sacs, are for stupefying, and not for satisfying the base desires of immature nursing infants.
