Like Trump says, either you have a country or you don't, and if I was an American I would be wishing I didn't.

I'm an American. I'm not wishing that.

"White" and "nation" are both fuzzy ideas and white nationalism in its clumsier forms is something those who would love to see you guys completely disenfranchised applaud with sniggering approval. The homeland security talk made me LOL though.
Globalist ideologues in their current currents see definitely are not down with family safety, btia. They see the family as a form of violence against the technocratic therapeutic/managerial State even if they don't put it in exactly those terms. Check out Adam Kotsko for starters...
There were Antifa, with their face masks, roaming around at this point. They also appeared to be Mexican.
I love the fact Corey's response is we should not stop Trump? That tunnel vision is exactly the problem, so it is wild to see it used as a direct response to the diagnosis!
The point isn't that the Left "shouldn't stop Trump," the point is that the Left doesn't have a toolkit for doing that. The entire vocabulary of activism at their disposal is not equal to the task -- but it is tailor-made for inflaming Trump's base further, as well as pushing more people towards him. And because Corey Robin can't see that, he's going to keep advocating for more of the same. Eloquently and intelligently, as he does.
"What do you mean, our rhetoric is divisive? We're more united than ever!"
