There's a big difference between nationalism and Patriotism.
Nationalism leads to unquestioning devotion to country and is easily turned into blindly following a man or government

American Patriotism is a devotion to an ideal. It's an allegiance on a higher plain. A patriot can say as Jefferson believed, “Resistance to Tyrants is obedience to God!” That includes tyrants wherever they are especially those in America like Hillary. A Patriot has a freedom a nationalist. Our founding father's were Patriots fighting for their God given rights, it went beyond nationalism.

I like your reply

Perhaps, considering the state we're in, Nationalism is a good beginning to get us back to an American patriotism

Nothing is going to happen quickly and the NEA has to be outlawed

The children belong to us, not the socia;lists.

I believe that what Trump is reawakening in the American people is a sense of patriotism.....or worth and fairness and exceptionalism
