That's the title of Michael Kinsley's Politico essay that argues against taking "American exceptionalism" too much to heart.
I'm going to resist quoting from it because you should read it for yourself. Suffice to say that I have long believed in its core message: telling ourselves comforting lies keeps us from addressing our problems.
Sadly, nobody who should hear the message will, because they're not interested in what Kinsley has to say.
