Bill Maher, an old time liberal, is starting to understand the far left wing of his party has been hijacked by the communist ideology. Is it too late for America? Have the communist infiltrated our schools to such a degree, we will never recover?
LOL!
Too late for America because of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
Hilarious.
Try, is it too late for America because rightwing wackos tried to overturn an election to keep a con-man idiot in the presidency? And they would do it again!
Now there is something to be worried about.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”
Republicans are now American Nationalists, yes or no?
Some of them are ethno-nationalists.
I am a civic nationalist.

Thank you for giving an interesting, sincere answer to my somewhat tongue-in-cheek question. I wasn't expecting to have to think about anything when I checked the board this morning.
Civic nationalism is a concept that I've not really grappled with seriously. In principle it aligns very closely to core beliefs I have about what it means to identify as American where our national identity must be based on the shared values regarding human rights and constitutional law to have meaning in a pluralistic society. But by extension my patriotism doesn't include beliefs about American exceptionalism and I favor the benefits globalism has afforded us. Those same values and core beliefs, spread wide, have made war less appealing, improved lives around the world, and created opportunity for generations of folks around the globe now. But it's easy for those same beliefs to slip into justifying imperialism as we saw the US lean harder into following the collapse of the Soviet Union rather than pull back on the "national" part of that identity.
Anyway, now I feel I should get sorted on the topic.

Thank you for the usual thoughtfulness in your response, honor. I would not say that I am "anti-globalist." On the other hand, I am not a globalist to the point of aspiring to one world government. I don't think such an arrangement is tenable. That being out of reach and perhaps undesirable, I think robust civic nationalism, so long as it is not taken to an isolationist extreme, can be a healthy thing.

Would you mind providing a sort of down and dirty snapshot of ‘civic nationalism’ for us? I consider myself closest to a neoliberal (which is essentially a Nazi to demsocs and communists)?
