I know there's a lot going on right now, but this is a rather worrying thing.

Kind of depends on how you define "nationalist." He ran on the platform of "America First," which in and of itself could be seen as "nationalism."

Some think nationalism is patriotism.

I'm a nationalist, but I'm a civic nationalist rather than an ethnic nationalist. If that is Trump's approach, I see no problem with it.

Yep, the US has the most flexible long term nationalism known to man.

Well, I do.

Everything is wrong with it when your nation uses the resources and labor of people in other nations all day every day just to exist at all
Also please ask your nearest Jewish friend what they think of nationalists.

I'd prefer being a humanist. It's all stupid. We're all human beings and should look at the things that make us the same.

That's fine. If everyone agreed on everything, why even have an internet? :)

Isn't Zionism a form of nationalism? I know there are some anti-Zionist Jews, but I think they're in the minority.
