Almond in 22006 when he was Dr. Almond's research assistant at Princeton University, Professor Verba created surveys into civic participation and political inequality that challenged conventions about American exceptionalism.

His later books are angrier, more polemical, their worldview darker, reflecting the chaotic morality of the post-Soviet era and often presenting the United States — with its exceptionalism, its flouting of international norms, as he sees it — as the villain in the post-Cold War era.

He also delivered a wide-ranging jeremiad from his seat in the Oval Office, often employing Republican talking points: railing against socialism and the Green New Deal, and lamenting what he called the demise of American exceptionalism and respect for the American flag among Democratic lawmakers.

In my book "Islamic Exceptionalism", which discusses Islam's tensions with liberalism and liberal democracy, I argue that some public role for religion is necessary in religiously conservative societies...In less religious or post-Christian societies, a mainstream Christianity is no longer capable of providing the necessary group identity.

There's a thin line between the false promise of respectability politics — the myth of exceptionalism — and saying fuck it, it's a fantasy, it's a lie, let's just be ourselves, let's be loud and messy and talk shit about people in Cantonese while on line at the grocery store.

In this process Trump's unique and creative use of the Facebook and Twitter became instrumental in permeating vast segments of the American society with a plane spoken message of hope that common sense conservatives will once again lit the light of American exceptionalism and American way of life.

This thematic cloth fits a novel whose title is a quote from Genesis, and given the ancient and modern plights and exceptionalism of the Jewish people, many have accepted the idea of their representing, in important ways, the general human condition, its horrors and its joys and its perdurance.

It is easy, then, for NBC, the primary conduit to the Games for most Americans, to justify its extreme focus on American exceptionalism, especially when gymnasts and swimmers of the United States team have done so well in sports that are critical to the network's prime-time success.

If Bunker was a Frankenstein creature, who arose from his liberal creator's writing desk to engulf his context, so Trump is a nightmare uprising of an unstable and potent vein of American unreality, called forth by more than a century's indulgence of dreams of exceptionalism, privilege and demonizing nativism.
|

While for many the American flag stands for patriotism, national pride, military might or American exceptionalism (research has shown that exposure to the flag increases feelings of nationalism), the display of many other national flags often signals a sense of ethnic pride, particularly when they're displayed in the diaspora.

Shadi Hamid, author of "Islamic Exceptionalism: How the Struggle Over Islam Is Reshaping the World," said the Islamic State's leaders are far more focused on trying to retain their territory in Iraq and Syria amid a U.S. and Iraqi-led assault than they are on destroying gays and lesbians.

To do that, his priority right now, before he takes office, must be to make clear that he will fight to preserve one of America's most powerful traits, something at the core of its exceptionalism: it's commitment to battling the worst angels of our nature by appealing to the better ones.

I assumed because she was from Iran and lived in Iran for such a long time, and writes about how she and Barack Obama hung out for a long time and the reason they were so tight and such friends is because they don't like the idea of American exceptionalism.

The right can't summon up a "real" Tory voter in quite the same way—the Party survived its aristocratic past by discovering "real Tories" in every social class—but it has made up for this by emphasising "real Tory" values: flag-waving nationalism, suspicion of foreigners, belief in British exceptionalism.

Most people are guilty of some form of unethical behavior myself included, but given the current atmosphere of the country, it is not surprising that the University of Virginia's Center for Advanced Studies in Culture reveals that, despite a faith in American exceptionalism, America has deeper issues than partisan political divides.

She is out of step with voters because she continues to believe in the myth of American exceptionalism, nearly a year after America proved, without a shadow of a doubt, that it is just as susceptible as any other country to tyranny, to tribalism, to the demons of our nature.

Whether that has taken the form of a belief in the American Century, which propelled the country throughout the 1900s, or the harsh strains of America First animating the current White House, the idea of exceptionalism has at times served American power but today, Sachs says, is a recipe for disaster.

He has been asked to balance a type of English soccer exceptionalism — the need to retain that fast-paced game that brings in the big money and those millions of worldwide eyeballs — with the intrusions inherent in any replay system that stops the game's natural flow, and sometimes makes things worse.

And to be sure, the concept of American exceptionalism has been badly abused sometimes, but the basic idea is that because of the responsibilities with which our nation has been entrusted as it relates to preventing various forms of barbarism and inhumanity that we have special privileges in order to execute those duties.

But her political views often align with the Kremlin and mirror talking points heard on Russian state TV: She claims the American political system is rigged, opposes the notion of American exceptionalism, is a vocal critic of US military operations overseas and downplays the impact of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
|
|
So we have a long history of genocide against native peoples and anti-black racism and anti-immigration hysteria, and at the same time there's a strain of American exceptionalism, which manifests as a kind of mythological history and encourages Americans to think of their own country as a unique force for good.

The "Free the Love" app, the Hippie Modernism exhibition, and the host of other events around the Bay Area marking the 50th anniversary of Haight-Ashbury's Summer of Love share one overarching goal: to celebrate alternative cultures as a source of Bay Area exceptionalism that will continue to empower its progressive future.

Its exceptionalism is expressed in subtle ways, via the eloquent craft of the brickwork, the depth of windowsills, the quality of light in apartments and geometric arrangement of wraparound balconies that turn the buildings' envelopes into stacked bands, like thick, hexagon-shaped pancakes, poised above elegantly vaulted lobbies sheathed in clear glass.

And yet absence from the 22010 World Cup may be more acutely felt — may represent a greater setback — in the United States than in countries where soccer is the No. 1 sport, Andrei Markovits, a Michigan professor and co-author of "Offside: Soccer and American Exceptionalism," argued in a late-night phone call.
|
|
He argued that American fascism would come from a capacity for tremendous global violence; a vision of American exceptionalism as the "fittest nation"; a belief in a coming final war between good and evil; a cult of the strong state leading the fight of good against evil; and a cult of the "strong leader".

On the road toward universal health care in the United States, and accounting for the sensibilities and preferences of Americans over decades (American exceptionalism, freedom of choice, anti-socialism), offering a government-based single-payer public option that excludes private insurances (as proposed by some Democratic presidential candidates) is a "dead-on-arrival" proposition.
|

At the G-2628, in addition to the ongoing tensions, we saw a new level of "Trumpitude," the end of American exceptionalism and the dawn of Trump's new trade doctrine, "Tantrumism": the formulation of international trade policy based on the commander in chief's latest emotional outburst due to perceived slights and made-up grievances.

The Reagan-Thatcher revolution in the 1980s — deregulating financial services, closing down coal mines and manufacturing plants and hacking away at the benefits of the New Deal and the British welfare state — was regarded by many conservatives, on both sides of the Atlantic, as a triumph for Anglo-American exceptionalism, a great coup for freedom.
|
|
Just a few decades after Alexis de Tocqueville had praised the U.S. as an egalitarian land without extremes in "Democracy in America," the urban elite of cities like New York were left with a discomfiting realization that American exceptionalism was perhaps ending and giving way to a large working proletariat that could radicalize or rebel like in Europe.
|

Huntington, who was a Harvard political scientist, argues that the defining division in American politics is not economic but cultural, between people who give different answers to the question of national identity: cosmopolitans who argue that America is defined by its universal values and middle-class nationalists who argue that it is defined by flag, family and American exceptionalism.
|

A recent debate among residents produced an even more overwhelming pro-EU vote: about 300 to six, reports Julian Huppert, a former local MP. The city's exceptionalism is borne out by a ranking, produced by Chris Hanretty and other political scientists using polling and demographic data, of parliamentary seats in England, Scotland and Wales by their level of Euroscepticism.
|
|
In his presidency the first two aspects of Trumpian exceptionalism have been blocked or limited — the courts and Congress have pushed back against his most restrictive immigration measures (narrowing the travel ban, forcing him to abandon the child separation policy), and congressional Republicans' preference for warmed-over supply-side economics has often won out over Trump's more populist promises.
|
|
But that's less because of Trump himself and more because it leaves room for those who latch onto it to project onto its four words their own vision of American exceptionalism — whether that vision is populated by triumphant war heroes trampling foes on the battlefield, or by saplings, gently mended flags, and picket fences keeping interlopers out.

The litany of social movements for Black Lives, to end gun violence, eradicate sexism and misogyny, and protect the rights of immigrants and Muslims, all reflect King's most revolutionary legacy: the realization that the myths of American exceptionalism needed to be replaced by what he called a "bitter and beautiful struggle" for the very soul of the nation.

The assumption of Western objectivity is not only divorced from the material conditions in which those objects have come to be "owned" by Western knowledge – knowledge informed by a history of contact on unequal terms – but it also instantiates the exceptionalism with which Western cultures have felt entitled to the final, objective say on other cultures.

"These efforts are compromised from the get-go because of their association with states that don't have legitimacy among young, angry, frustrated Muslim youths in the Arab world," said Shadi Hamid, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington and the author of "Islamic Exceptionalism: How the Struggle Over Islam is Reshaping the World," who did not attend the conference.

"I had a conversation with the President-elect about our foreign policy generally, and the importance of us making sure that in how we approach intelligence gathering and how we think about fighting terrorism and keeping the country secure ... that we recognize America's exceptionalism, our indispensability in the world in part draws from our values and our ideals," Obama said.

" Elisabeth Bumiller, The Times's Washington bureau chief, joined MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to discuss Hillary Clinton's foreign policy stances as depicted in The New York Times Magazine cover story "How Hillary Clinton Became a Hawk": "Hillary's worldview is one of American exceptionalism, as Mark [Landler] talks about ... which is that there is a role for the American military — in certain areas — for intervention.

The cult of Stalin and, by extension, the myth of Soviet virtue and exceptionalism—the "bond that had held the scattered survivors of the House of Government together," Slezkine writes—began to be dismantled in 1956, when Khrushchev, once a resident of the building, now the Soviet First Secretary, delivered a secret speech on Stalin's crimes to the twentieth Party Congress.

"We will stop him when we start believing in ourselves again and when we remember that our exceptionalism hasn't anything to do with what we are — prosperous, powerful, envied — but with who we are: a people united by ideals, not ethnicity or geography, and determined to stand by those values, not just here at home but throughout the world," he said.

That trace of English exceptionalism has not been absent from all of the tributes that have flowed in his direction — the former Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard said in December that Ibrahimovic is a "world-class player, and now he is proving it week in, week out" — but that England has fallen, and fallen hard, for its Swedish paramour is beyond doubt.

While there's no doubt that generations of kids being told to clean their plates because of hungry children in Ethiopia or Bangladesh spurred fledgling notions of American exceptionalism, our current habit of throwing away entire lunches (and outfits and everything else we buy without using) strikes me as far worse, part of an American myopia that never considers anyone else at all.
|

The win against the Soviets was about more than hockey; it was a big middle finger in the form of a souvenir foam hand, a definitive Cold War victory on the world stage, a "fuck you for beating us to space," a precursor to the myth of American exceptionalism that would dominate a decade of excess presided over by a well-coiffed actor in the Oval Office.

If Richard Nixon opened up the Pandora's box of racially coded political rhetoric that cemented the Republican Party's "Southern strategy" of appealing to white voters turned off by the talk of civil rights, busing, and urban rebellion, Reagan offered the entire nation a telegenic icon who professed to have no public feelings of racial animus but an unflinching love for American exceptionalism and all of its accoutrements.

As such, Nickelback's provenance as the pride of Hanna, Alberta didn't matter so long as they sounded like us, or, in other words, like US. Enter the 2004 motion picture Torque, released 15 years ago this week and a bluntly poetic example of the nativist pop cultural exceptionalism of the post-9/11 years, which had seeped out of the political punditry and into our popcorn buckets.

Of course right-wing anti-Semites haven't gone away either — which is part of why anti-anti-Omar Democrats can tell themselves that by downgrading Jewish exceptionalism, trading a specific philo-Semitism for a general politics of all-bigotry-is-bad, they are asking liberal Jews to make a sacrifice that's essential for the greater good of defeating the greater enemy, which is still the reactionary right.

As long as I've taken it this far, it is also possible to think of the paintings comprising In and Around the Water (which are individually titled to evoke times of the day — "Early in a Clear Evening"; "During the Warmest Hours"; "While All the Others Are Working") in terms of the foundational myths of American exceptionalism, which Ford had no small part in propagating, and the perversions they have spawned.

Trump exceptionalism aside, asset-allocation strategists at Societe Generale led by Alain Bokobza argue, moreover, that there is no clear link between recent U.S. elections and bond and equity fund flows in the U.S. Foreign central banks, however, are showing themselves less keen to hold U.S. sovereign assets, and that can make a big difference to Treasury performance, especially as the Federal Reserve prepares to tighten monetary policy as soon as December.

"The exceptionalism of the 'wet foot, dry foot' policy toward Cuba is a relic of the Cold War, and this decision by the administration is really its final effort to normalize an area of interaction between Cuba and the United States, migration, that is clearly in need of normalization," said Peter Kornbluh, a co-author of "Back Channel to Cuba," which recounts the secret negotiations between the United States and Cuban governments that forged the policy.

It is the old, yet shocking, story of American capitalism and exceptionalism: that a particular, brilliant, 18-year-old, who once told the Miami Herald in 1982 that he wanted to "build space hotels, amusement parks, yachts and colonies for two or three million people orbiting around the Earth" while our home planet is restored to its ecological glory, would go on to acquire all this wealth 36 years later, and along with it the license to spend his days dreaming of space, while many other 18-year-olds across the United States with similar aspirations and no less grit would not.

For the heirs of a people whose endurance over millenniums was because of the miracle of a tradition of thought nourished, rekindled and resown with each generation and through a constantly refined body of commentary, the challenge is clear: Any sacrifice of the calling to intellectual, moral and human excellence; any renunciation of the duty of exceptionalism that — from Rabbi Yehuda to Kafka and from Rashi to Proust and Levinas — has provided the ferment for its almost incomprehensible resistance; any concession, in a word, to Trumpian nihilism would be the most atrocious of capitulations, one tantamount to suicide.

The other key principles of the Obama checklist are: sustainability (avoid commitments that cost too much to stick with); restraint (ask not what America can do but what it should do); precision (wield a scalpel rather than a hammer); patience (give policies the time and effort to work); fallibility (be realistic about the chances of failure and modest about what you can achieve); scepticism (interrogate the issues and beware those peddling easy answers to difficult questions); exceptionalism (the recognition that because of its enormous power and attachment to universal values America has a unique responsibility to provide leadership in the world that cannot be ducked).

He points out there are some overlooked realities in the image of the United States they want to portray (read the whole thing, but this is a solid taste): Because this line, "American history, despite periods of nativism and bigotry, has from the first been a grand experiment in bringing people of different backgrounds together, not pitting them against one another," from the Writers Against Trump statement is not only empirically false, it's a continuation of the ongoing legacy of sanitized lies America has shoved down its own throat since its creation; Because we, the people who continue to struggle in the face of that lie, and whose ancestors suffered and died from the reality that lie conceals, are fully fed the fuck up with people who claim to have our backs dishonoring our past and perpetuating that lie; Because in an age when we still have to shut down highways to declare whose lives matter, the lie of American exceptionalism and "a grand experiment" is really a way of valuing one life, one story, one experience over another; Because no matter how many times you say words like "freedom" and "justice," genocide is still genocide and slavery is still slavery.
