Nationalist

While you were looking, the current President of the United States of America just declared himself a nationalist...at a speech in Texas.

"A globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much. And you know what? We can't have that. You know, they have a word. It sort of became old-fashioned. It's called a nationalist. And I say, really, we're not supposed to use that word. You know what I am? I'm a nationalist, OK? I'm a nationalist. Nationalist. Nothing -- use that word. Use that word."
 
There is a difference between a nationalist and a patriot. You can be a proud patriot without wishing to subjugate others. Nationalists are not only prideful of their nation, they want to dominate other races, nations and people groups. After two world wars and several genocides I think we can safely say that nationalism is one of the great evils of the modern era. Other proud nationalists? Otto van Bismarck, Adolf Hitler, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Generalissimo Franco, Benito Mussolini, and many many more.
 
And by saying he knows he isn't supposed to use that word, the president is not mistakenly or accidentally misusing the word. He knows full well the historical and ideological meaning of the word nationalist. He's wielding it as a badge of honor.
 
Wake up America. You have a proud nationalist as president.
