It’s about time that the media start recognizing that there are millions of factions of people in the USA. They tend to be way too narrow-minded.

German-Americans have always been largely pro-America and love this nation with unbridled passion.

I am proud to be an American of German ancestry.

Wow. Nationalists do say that the US fought for the wrong side in WWII.

Pundits often talk about the “white vote,” but it’s more complicated than that. Voters who say they have German or Italian heritage...

Racists - white is white is white. There are no separations of whiteness, only of non-whiteness. Reeducation camps are needed here. If this abomination isn't stamped out, the next thing that will happen is that males will demand to be referred to as men, and claim to have differing personal opinions. This is insanity - it must be stopped! Slippery slope, slippery slope!

It’s interesting how the author went out of his way to point out that Trump called an American born judge “Mexican.” The article then goes on to identify other American born citizens as Italians, Irish, German, etc.

LOL! Ethnic Germans? I don't think I've met a white person in America - aside from, maybe Italians and Jews, who mention their ethnicity. The Jews from a religious perspective, the Italians from a cooking perspective! German-Americans! LOL! Starting up those bund meetings on 86th Street again? I don't think so!

Jews love Trump also. Not the upper west side JINO, but real Jews, who are also Zionists.

Many years ago I had a conversation with a theology teacher about Hitler. He said, those Jews in NYC who vote Democrat were Hitlers intended victims with the rest of us collateral damage.

Many years later, looking back at that statement, he wasn’t too far off the mark.

I’m 50/50 Italian/German and everyone in my extended family (most in PA) is voting for Trump!

What nationalists are those? I don’t like that term, preferring patriots myself, but what Americans thought we should have sided with Germany or Japan? Inquiring people want to know.

I just did that DNA testing thing. 47% Scandinavian, about 15% Eastern European, 15% Italian and 2% North African, etc.

I have this argument with my wife all the time. I’m of German, and English, ancestry but I could give a hoot about either one. When my wife says “you’re German” I say no I’m not, I’m American. I use the analogy that while a cake has flour in it, that doesn’t mean that a cake IS flour.

German and Italian are not homogeneous groups in Europe. There’s a lot of difference between north and south Italians, and north and south Germans.

So to whatever extent the ethnic identities remain in the US, I’d expect those differences to carry over.

His strongest core of support, however, comes from those who identify as “American.” That would be many if not most Evangelicals, practically all native white southerners and most of Appalachia. Some have ancestry that’s been here so long that there’s no one country that they’re “from.”

I must be mistaken about my heritage. I am Scots, Welsh, English on all sides.

And am a direct descendant, along with a whole bunch of others, of John and Priscilla Alden on my paternal grandmother’s side.

But, I did marry an Italian, so maybe caught it from him. /s

You may want to head to your “safe place” because were all over the place!
Nice Nazi reference first thing out of the box by the way. Dumb Ass.
