Your whole dialogue proves you are submitting yourself to the rules and regulations of the PC crowd. I REFUSE to allow a bunch of scum bags intent on the destruction of my country to FORCIBLY ALTER my choice of words. I AM A NATIONALIST! That means AMERICA FIRST!
I’m an American. Period.
All else follows from that sentence.
Articles 11 and 13 were just a preview of coming attractions....
But he said he was a Nationalist, not just an American for a reason: that he supports nations acting in their own self-interest. If there were more Nationalists in Europe, the EU would be kicked to the curb. And that would be a very good thing, and not just for Europe.

why not address the issue of antisemitism from the new colonists from muslim nations?
why not address the issue of militant extremist violence from antifa and other neo-commie groups?
Selective policing is tacit approval of some of these groups when all of them are bad.
