    It’s not, politicians overwhelmingly don’t use nationalist or anti-Russia rhetoric because it doesn’t get them elected. Vivek is going hard nationalist, and he’s what, 9% support among Republicans?

    There’s a few hyper-nationalists in the Republican party, but it’s the tiny minority, and everyone else in America just uses them for entertainment.

      🙄

      So who is leading the republican primary? Somebody without a nationalist bone in their body I’m sure. Definitely not an “America First” “Build the Wall” “Make America Great Again” type of candidate.

        Trump moonlights as a nationalist but in reality he’s a globalist businessman who is friendly towards Russia and China. Sure, he says build the wall, but he hired immigrants at his properties.

        Trump did lean in heavy to the nationalist rhetoric in 2016, and where did that get him? One term, twice lost popular vote, twice impeached, and what should have been a red wave midterm in 2022 turned into a red fart. Edit: not to mention currently drowning in legal issues and hemorrhaging money on lawyers

        Most Americans don’t want nationalism.
