When the left criticizes "American exceptionalism" talk, it's to denounce autocratic undertakings. For Trump, it's a way to justify his own.

His supporters could care less that he gets along with Putin. But they DO care abt American exceptionalism.
@ggreenwald -
right—but the left that doesn't care about Am exceptionalism probably not best placed to get that message out anyway

but to your pt—I think Dem leaders tried to get that point across in 2016? the DNC was very focused on this.

Nah, I think they totally (over)emphasized the Putin tie, ignored that that might piss off his supporters.

Elite cares that Trump cozying up to Poot. His supporters care that they can believe they're better than everyone else.
