Dan Rather: America ‘Sliding from Extreme Nationalism into Tribalism’
Breitbart ^ | 09/05/2019 | Amy Furr

Posted on 09/06/2019 7:20:11 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A feeling of “extreme nationalism” has gripped the United States, according to former CBS News anchor Dan Rather. “We have our differences and President Trump has found it to his … advantage to exploit those differences,” Rather said during an interview Thursday morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe while promoting his new book.

Rather continued:

We’re in danger of sliding from extreme nationalism into tribalism. In our country, which is a new experiment in history — first time in history any people tried to be free… we’re constantly trying to perfect it. It depends on [us] as a people, as a nation, that we agree on certain core values such as rule of law.

Actually, the Nationalists are trying to STOP the slide into tribalism. BLM was a tribalistic movement.

Does anyone care what Rather says? Let alone buy a book about it? Somebody must watch Joe and Whats-er-name; they’re still on the air.

We had a recent article posted that said although we have been calling it a “Culture War” for decades that it was never really a “War” because you can’t have a war until somebody fights back. Trump is fighting back and they can’t stand it.

Idiots like Dan Rather think they are “citizens of the world”, and nationalism represents some sort of slide into tribalism. Nationalism is actually a step up from tribalism, which is what Democrats practice constantly every time they repeat each other’s lies about everyone who isn’t a liberal. Who’s going to protect a citizen of the world’s rights and freedoms? No one.

I think 'The Most Trusted Man In America', Rather's mentor, had a hand in it as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are in danger of losing the Great Experiment because all of one party and a good number of the other party have been inviting foreign tribes to colonize our country against the will of the citizens.
