>Nationalism; for ALL nations
/begin off-topic rant/
Anon, here is where the key issue is. America was founded as a white nation. White men (those of various European heritage) are who created the USA. For whites, by whites, if you will. As horrible as it may sound to us now, blacks were essentially the farm equipment and were never meant to be citizens of the USA as the founding fathers saw it. Race, or common ancestry, if you prefer, has always been part of the definition of a nation. If you've heard the expression "blood & soil", that's what that means. It means "this is my people, my family, and this land is ours, our nation." So bearing that in mind, fast forward to today and the USA has lost half of that equation - the "blood" half. When the (((Hart Celler act))) of 1965 was passed, it removed the racial component from our immigration policy, allowing any peoples to become citizens. This perverts what a nation is. If literally anyone can be an American, then being an American means nothing, or next to nothing.
"Blood & soil" has been replaced with "muh magic paper (the constitution) & muh magic dirt (as long as you can cross the finish line -the border- you're magically an american)". Imagine if 50% of Japan was inhabited by blacks. Or if there is a certain race of people that you don't like, insert them into the population instead. If half of Japan is not Japanese, is it really Japan anymore? What Trump & Q advocate is for civic nationalism, as opposed to the traditional racial nationalism. It can work, but racial tensions will always be present simply because we are different. The blacks know, or at least they used to know at one time that America did not represent them.
Much the same way as the modern result from racial integration in sports. Let's say you live in a city that is 95% white. Everyone is like you for the most part. But your basketball/football team is 95% black. Is that team an accurate representation of your city? Is it really? Sure you may cheer for them to win games, but they're not your team - not really. Civic nationalism is a strange thing. It's not something that happens on it's own. Several aspects of the Constitution itself had to be chipped away and eroded to make it possible. It's a bit like Frankensteins monster. It's a patchwork without a true soul. It's an abomination of sorts, but it is alive. Trump wants to remove the forces tgat have been picking at the seams trying to agitate the different pieces. It is a large order to fill, and a commendable action to take. I'm not sure it will be enough to keep the country united in the long run.
