What sources are the American triumphalists reading?
I occasionally see people pop up talking about how the US is a world hyperpower. I follow people like Elbridge Colby, Tanner Greer, Vermillion China, Rick Joe (not saying I endorse everything they say)... The TLDR of their publications is that the US bloc faces very serious challenges from China in military/geostrategic terms. Even RAND gives off that sort of vibe.
The only American triumphalists I can think of are Zeihan and Fisted by Foucault of 'Turbo-America' fame. Needless to say FbF is not the most serious source, he's not exactly charting launcher numbers. I won't discount him, I honestly think he's a more serious political thinker than Zeihan, who's been predicting Chinese collapse for decades now.
Are there other American triumphalist sources I'm not aware of, preferably serious analytical types?
