Duh it's the first thing I said:

Trump now makes it very clear what nationalism means: whiteness.

If you're trying to be clever about how European nationalism isn't about whiteness at all, I have to admit, I kinda believed you for a while. I know the US is more racially sensitive in general, so it's plausible that your nationalism really is actually about the imaginary lines politicians draw, and not race.

But then I found the source of your ridiculous 80/20 idea. I thought it was a genuine uniquely evil philosophy you came up with. But no, you ripped it straight from the white supremacists' 13% meme, and just tweaked it slightly. Your only "innovation" was to include all non-white Americans, not just blacks. It's no coincidence that brings the number up to ~20%.

So yes, Europe invented nationalism way back in the day, but America has always been one of its greatest proponents, especially Nazism. America progressed and evolved many of the foundational ideas of nationalism, and it's undeniably the core of the modern nationalist and neo-Nazi movements. You can say anything you want about your beliefs and your own brand of nationalism, but it all comes straight from American nationalism. You and Trump are still preaching from the same exact book.

If you want to set yourself apart, then fucking do it. Drop all the nonsense % crap and condemn the racist Trump allies and supporters (and also his racist enemies, of course).
