Civic nationalism—colorblind, pro-family, pro-merit, and unapologetically American—is the only unifying alternative to the chaos sown by globalists and racial tribalists alike.
One of candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s most memorable assertions during his campaign for the Republican nomination for U.S. President was that we need to clarify what it means to be an American. He argued that Americans face a national identity crisis, as we are searching for meaning and purpose that for generations had been amply provided by faith, family, patriotism, and hard work. The challenge he put before us was to revive these values. This sentiment, coming from a second-generation Indian American, ought to be an inspiring and encouraging example of colorblind civic nationalism.
It’s amusing and a bit sad, however, that a percentage of right-wing Americans (a percentage that is grossly inflated by the media) claim that the only true Americans are those who are descended from white Europeans. This is wrong for two compelling reasons: First, because Americans like Vivek Ramaswamy are passionate and highly informed believers in the American Constitution and the importance of America’s Western European heritage, and the idea that he or his progeny would undermine that is laughable. Second, because most of the people filling the streets and fomenting leftist chaos over recent years, and who are disproportionately represented at the top of these subversive movements, are Americans who are themselves descended from white Europeans.
This is why civic nationalism, a term that seems to have left the discussion over American identity almost as quickly as it entered, ought to be dusted off and revisited.

Vetting candidates, incumbents, unelected, and citizens.
Starting now, but under professional development.
Let us know when all the recent arrivals from the Indian subcontinent voluntarily give up their Protected Class status, stop working madly to bring tens of millions more of their countrymen so they can form a voting block, refuse to speak Hindi in public and stop loudly proclaiming how they plan to impose socialism and “seize the means of production” in a country not one of them ever had anything to do with.
Oh, and...volunteer to walk point in the next war of choice that we get ourselves into. Or at least not complain when a draft is instituted.
Get back to me on their CivNat bonafides when all that happens.
Can’t we please just remember that we are all part of the American family?
