[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll be honest, I DO think of white nationalists when I hear “nationals” now. It’s sad. And a little frightening, too. It makes me uneasy. It’s probably time to think about a new name. [/quote]

It is amazing how many people lack basic knowledge about so many things, including "nationalism".  It's funny that many of these SJWs would probably cheer the concept of nationalism when learning about the Revolutions of 1848, or self-determination after WWI, or the post WWII Independence movement in former colonies or creating a "homeland" for Palestinians.  Grow up, people.

The racial connotations associated with this now are merely a projection by liberals.  MAGA doesn't mean "Make America White" or "let's go back to the 50's."  It means, start thinking about the interests of America and Americans when we make policy decisions.  It means that we reject unaccountable supranational organizations as a means for decision-making.  It means not bowing to the leaders of other countries.  Don't like nationalism...

Thank you. It seems to me that the legacy of millennials will be that of "social justice warriors."  Identify a "problem" (even if it really isn't one) and protest, march, rally, and crowd fund to get that "problem" corrected.  
It has become a bit of a joke.  [/quote]
