The unipolar moment is often misremembered in the US as constituting the entirety of history and the rightful default, which has profoundly shaped our foreign policy expectations and created what @JyShapiro called "the American omnipotence problem," but that's another discussion. — PolitiTweet.org

Another common misapprehension is that the ideas of "American exceptionalism" have long been a matter of consensus. In fact it's been bitterly debated since its c1900 origins. It was consensus only for a ~15-year period from about 1984-1999, the so-called unipolar moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway as precept #2 of American exceptionalism (US hegemony is an inherent force for good) continues its arguably inevitable decline, precept #1 (US is innately special and superior) is coming under a lot of pressure. What if we're just a country that happens to be big and rich? — PolitiTweet.org
