I don’t think “nationalist” really fits. The populism Trump is tapping into is more anti-Progressive than anything else.
There’s certainly a nationalist component, but also free speech/thought/conscience and free market economics components. What it all adds up to is that Progressives have been using SJW tactics to drag society in a direction counter to society’s wishes and out of proportion to the Progressives own numbers. Using bullying tactics that a bunch of the public is well and truly tired of. And that portion of the public is now flocking to Trump ...
I agree that Trump is anti-progressive anti-SJW and anti-PC, but Nationalism is the ideology that drives his campaign.
With that said lets talk about PC culture and how it’s destroying the West.
I think there’s a major divide between younger members of the right-wing and older members who are isolated from the PC madness out there.
Everyday in our office we are under the assault of Social Justice - it is an oppressive cloud that is destroying productivity. One off color joke, one slip up, and you’re turfed.
HR departments are staffed by ultra-leftist Social Justice millennials who are hiring based on ID politics and not competency. Companies are being filled with women and minorities who fit their world view but are practically worthless on the job.
There is an all out assault on Western culture and values and no one stepped up in the public until Trump did.
I’m sorry but Ted Cruz is not the culture warrior we need right now. He’s just not the guy. Trump is the wrecking ball we need to smash the PC totalitarian madness. If we can’t stop it now kiss Western civilization goodbye.
