Agreed when the left or right go to far bad things can happen via Fascism and Communism, but watching a CNN panel right now arguing over whether the term Nationalism is racist is just ridiculous. They are changing the definition to fit their ideology.
Nationalism isn’t racist, it very much can be racist is paired with ethnicity like the Bosnian genocide.
I have never heard Ronald Reagan described as a “nationalist”.
I wouldn’t even describe Trump as a Nationalist, more of a opportunist.
Nationalism isn’t racism. But not it’s that not far off.
Racism abstractly can be define as a set of inherent imbalance in perception based on “race”.
In that same way, nationalism can be defined as a set of inherent imbalance in perception based on national identity.
This is absolutely true. He’s not consumed with any ideology, only with himself.

That’s a big problem though we have anywhere from 13-24 million illegals in our country. If Canada had the same problem it might change the way some Canadians think about the subject.
There is no other country that comes close to the amount of illegals by percentage of population than the U.S., it’s a big problem that up until 8 years ago their was at least some bipartisanship agreement on.
Historically, particularly in Europe - ethnicity and nation were the same thing.
Yep Africa, Asia, Middle East are more based on Tribalism, but national identity is starting to take over give it another 200 years.
America does have an issue with illegals, but don’t let use blind fear of them to mask what they are really doing.
That being the slow erosion of your rights.
As such. He fits one aspect of the Hegelian model of a world historical hero.
Given also that his personal goals are congruent with the way the universe (or at least our little part of it) needs to roll, his success is guaranteed until he serves the purpose of the universe. After that, Trump will fall off like an empty hull. But till then, make no mistake … being consumed by his own success is a common trait among great men. And notice I didnt say nice men or even good leaders.
Lol doesn’t erase the fact Byrd helped create the atmosphere that you are on here falsely stating this has been a right wing view. Byrd, a Democrat, started it.

Like I said there is 13+ million illegals in our country who broke the law either by overstaying a visa or crossing the border, conservatives are just asking for the laws of the land to be enforced. If you cross illegally or overstay your visa your deported that is the law.
Trump would have never made it out of the primaries much less win the presidency if either side would have taken the problem seriously.

No those people got coned by Trump thinking he was going to actually be someone who fought corruption and not someone who is most corrupt POTUS we have had.
The republicans never apologized nor dealt with the southern strategy which is why we have the conclusion of it in the white house.
