The article is pretty well done, but the "American exceptionalism" mentioned in the headline is more the promise of the American dream than anything related to "A City on a Hill" or Manifest Destiny. It makes the headline stand out in a way the article fails to, which is disappointing from a major news outlet like the Washington Post.
