No, it's not "rebranding itself" - just using the name that everybody besides Americans have used since 1973

Trump, Paxton, The Founders, And America’s Long Excuse For Powerful Men
Stop assuming corruption defeats MAGA. America’s history shows powerful men, from slaveholding founders to corporate-backed authoritarianism, get a pass unless people organize for accountability.

Trump Wants a Museum of Mythology, Not the Truth About American History
Trump ordered political warning signs outside the Smithsonian because honest history threatens MAGA mythology. Patriotism requires truth, accountability, and repair.

I must say, the U.S. did something remarkable in electing #Trump. While history is full of leaders who were buffoons or sociopaths, choosing someone who is both a sociopath *and* a buffoon to lead a country as powerful as the U.S. may be the single most destructive act any nation's electorate has ever committed. A true triumph of #AmericanExceptionalism.

This one graphic is an indictment of American Health Care...
"The U.S. stands alone, far from its peers. We spend roughly twice as much as other western countries for mediocre results. We seem to be exceptionally bad at living longer lives by spending more on healthcare." (from the book I'm writing)
This is because we don't have an actual system. Just a cobbled together collection of public and private silos with lots of holes in between. Such a non-system is an invitation for waste, abuse, and outright fraud.
"American Exceptionalism" indeed!

@campuscodi #AmericanExceptionalism was always a myth.
Then it became a joke. 🍊 🤡
And now it’s a curse! 🌎 🔥

@TheBulwark @the-bulwark-online-TheBulwark #AmericanExceptionalism has gone from being a myth to being a joke.
The #UnitedStates will recover, but yes, it will take at least a generation.
#OKboomers will all be dead ☠️ and buried with the shame of trashing their inheritance from the #GreatestGeneration of #Americans.

“LARP 4th of July is a drama about the wasted American dream,” the group writes on Facebook. “It is a story about hope, about a small homeland, about finding one's place in the community.”

America’s Suicide Pact
America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire. ~ Chris Hedges, May 08, 2026

Nick Bryant had this comment about #AmericanExceptionalism: "Acts of political violence are fast becoming as much a feature of American life as school shootings. They set apart the United States."

@goss
I understand where you come from. But...as a person from the so called Global South, ex-3rd world, our experience is that regardless of who is in charge, democrats or republicans, the internal concept of the US of what democracy is/was was never applicable for us. I can only hope whatever is left of your democracy survives and gets stronger to be really relevant to the rest of the world

Rubio Tells Iran Invest in People—But U.S. Military Spending Exposes Hypocrisy
Rubio says Iran should invest in its people, but U.S. military spending vs healthcare reveals deep hypocrisy and misplaced moral authority.

In Chapter 1: American Exceptionalism of Myth America (Basic Books, 2023) historian David A. Bell indicates that Jay Lovestone and Joseph Stalin originated the idea of American exceptionalism in 1920, but in Democracy: An American Novel (1880, p.72) Henry Adams seems to capture an early precursor of the sentiment:
“Ah!” exclaimed the baron, with his wickedest leer, “what for is my conclusion good? You Americans believe yourselves to be excepted from the operation of general laws. You care not for experience. I have lived seventy-five years, and all that time in the midst of corruption. I am corrupt myself, only I do have courage to proclaim it, and you others have it not. Rome, Paris, Vienna, Petersburg, London, all are corrupt; only Washington is pure! Well, I declare to you that in all my experience I have found no society which has had elements of corruption like the United States. The children in the street are corrupt, and know how to cheat me. The cities are all corrupt, and also the towns and the counties and the States’ legislatures and the judges. Every where men betray trusts both public and private, steal money, run away with public funds.
Had a flavor of American exceptionalism been brewing for decades before Stalin’s comment? Adams’ posthumous Pulitzer Prize for The Education of Henry Adams (1907, 1918) in 1919 may have brought his earlier writings back to the public conscious for the 1920 citation?
