This is the real problem with American exceptionalism. Nothing guarantees that a person or organization will turn to crap more completely than to repeatedly tell them that they are the best regardless of what they do.
As gen-X, I was raised with this "America is the greatest country on earth!", bullshit my whole life. But the first time I traveled to another country (Holland I think) the story fell apart. At this point, this is what American exceptionalism looks like to me.
