We among the educated and self-aware Americans have no problem recognizing the fascist tendencies that the Republican Party has fallen into. However they don't think of themselves as fascists, and they resent it when we call them that.
I believe it's part of their brainwashing. But in fact, how can anyone who has learned anything about history, social history and economics NOT see this? The ChumpHumpers have voluntarily blinded themselves and disconnected their brains in order to follow Chump.
It really isn't nationalism in the classic sense. A nationalist is a person who believes "My country right or wrong." However the ChumpHumpers refuse to accept anything about this country or this government, if it hasn't been ordained by Chump. That includes hating certain members of the Republican Party. They'd rather overthrow the government if Chump isn't at the head of it. That's purely a cult of the leader, but I wouldn't exactly call it nationalism.
Thank you H2O Man for sharing your thoughts.
