You're perceiving a parallel reality to mine, so an argument would be a waste of time.pretty much.
No his one identity is not "the national one" Far from it. He addresses the right wing, people who buy into his version of reality in the "culture war" He pushes white nationalism, division, hatred of half of the country, hatred of liberals which he calls "the radical left'. That is not addressing a national identity, its doing the exact opposite. He is in fact SPLITTING/DIVIDING the national identity into opposing factions which he wishes to engage a destructive conflict.
The dividers are those telling their people that the other side want to "burn the country down" and that we need to "stop them". Calling others "unamerican" simply because they have legitimate criticisms. That is divide and conquer. Trump is the divider in chief. That is all he has done since stepping into the whitehouse. That in fact has been his greatest achievement.
Trump IS identity politics on steroids. "Build a wall" "keep them out" "Islam hates us" "They hate our country" "They are rapists and criminals"
If you cannot see this you are seriously a fool. Or just a disingenuous piece of shit.
No it is not. It is just a power realignment and nothing more.
Taking the UK away from the EU and handing her over to Trump's USA and Russia.
working for the general interests of the people of a nation, and opposing negative outside influence.
Simply opposing outside influence isn't by itself "nationalist"
You could have a completely soverign nation that is an authoritarian police state serving the oligarchy. That wouldn't be nationalist.
I was pro-Gaddafi too. My Gaddafi/Libya thread was basically a solo echo back in 2011. But you clearly only support Marxist nationalists (although Gaddafi was technically Bakuninist), either way, left-wing, while my support for a head of state transcends his political colour and is for anyone who stands up for his country.
