Trump: 'I'm a nationalist'

The Right has always wrapped their messege in the American flag. It appeals to there emotions, and hinders their critical thinking skills.

You and I would stand a good chance of being arrested in his country, if we voiced pro England sentiment.

The Rise of the Violent Left

Antifa traces its roots to the 1920s and ’30s, when militant leftists battled fascists in the streets of Germany, Italy, and Spain. When fascism withered after World War II, antifa did too. But in the ’70s and ’80s, neo-Nazi skinheads began to infiltrate Britain’s punk scene. After the Berlin Wall fell, neo-Nazism also gained prominence in Germany. In response, a cadre of young leftists, including many anarchists and punk fans, revived the tradition of street-level antifascism.

In the late ’80s, left-wing punk fans in the United States began following suit, though they initially called their groups Anti-Racist Action, on the theory that Americans would be more familiar with fighting racism than fascism. According to Mark Bray, the author of the forthcoming Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, these activists toured with popular alternative bands in the ’90s, trying to ensure that neo-Nazis did not recruit their fans. In 2002, they disrupted a speech by the head of the World Church of the Creator, a white-supremacist group in Pennsylvania; 25 people were arrested in the resulting brawl.

By the 2000s, as the internet facilitated more transatlantic dialogue, some American activists had adopted the name antifa. But even on the militant left, the movement didn’t occupy the spotlight. To most left-wing activists during the Clinton, Bush, and Obama years, deregulated global capitalism seemed like a greater threat than fascism.

I am proud to be American, and recognize my luck in this occurrence. Hence my willingness to give 10 years of military service toward the defense of my nation.

:lamo Here we have the height of hypocrisy. 10 years of destroying other nations and killing other nationalists, all to "defend" your country. That's fascism.

Watching his rally in Houston. It was a glorious moment and almost brought tears to my eyes when he stated that. In order to continue to make America great again we must embrace nationalism on a national scale. Embracing our borders, language, and culture the founders instilled on our nation at it's founding must be upheld. I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to vote for this magnificent president.

Hire American = America First
Buy American = America First

President Donald Trump on Monday evening proudly asserted that he was a “nationalist” — a designation some of his fiercest critics have previously wielded against him as an attack on what they deem nativist policy pursuits by his administration.

“You know, they have a word, it sort of became old-fashioned. It’s called a nationalist,” Trump said at a campaign event in Houston, where he rallied voters to support Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) in November’s midterm elections.

He left out "white".

LOL! What laughable, delusional nonsense to claim that England has been somehow, magically, 'lost'.

You simply have zero clue what you're talking about.
 
Nothing wrong with a President being a nationalist. It is probably preferred.

Back when I first enlisted in the Army my heart was teeming with patriotism and pride. I would have been considered a nationalist. After 20 years of service every ounce of patriotism and national pride I ever had was gone. Don’t get me wrong, I like America and I choose to keep living here for now because it is convenient. But it doesn’t hold a special place in my heart anymore. I neither love it or hate it. It is just the place I live.

And that makes me kind of sad. I miss that feeling of patriotism 20-year old Bob used to fly high on.

Not really. Nationalism does not automatically equate to Fascism just as socialism does not equate to Venezuela or communism.

What righties do not recognize is there IS a part of socialism in this country and if some (not even a majority) of righties have there way, there would be fascism in this country. Welfare in this country is pure socialism and there is not ONE honest republican that is for dismantling ALL welfare.

I was agreeing with you about some on the right misinterpreting 'socialism' as equaling 'VENEZUELA or COMMUNISM'

It is embarrassing to see sometimes.

There may be valid points to make in this thread, but with all respect this is nonsense.

Nationalist, nationalism, American, Americanism, patriot, patriotism have all become bad words in this country, well according to the far unhinged left wing idiots... Time to mock those who have made it so.

I am proud to be an American.
Won't you join me?

Btw, people of ALL color are welcome to chant with me... I am proud to be an American. :usflag2:

I think you may be building strawmen here. Besides nationalism and it's derivatives, no one could consider the rest as pejorative - Right or Left.
