“To the neoconservatives, American exceptionalism has nothing to do with civil liberties, personal freedom, limited government, free markets, and the like. It is only the exceptionalism of the US sword, going abroad to seek monsters to destroy. It is only the exceptionalism of military might to force the world to follow US dictates. Putin pushed back against this kind of false and ahistoric American exceptionalism and, likely because his argument made so much sense to the average American who is sick of war and aggression overseas, the neoconservatives suffered fits of convulsions and intestinal distress.”
