Trump Supporters: Mainland Europe and English Nationalism

trump supporters: In the United States the preferred word is patriot, but it usually just means nationalist, with flags flaunted and slogans chanted, according to Hamilton Spectator. America First says Trump, and the crowd replies USA all the way! You can't imagine a British election rally doing that the United Kingdom is too close to mainland Europe, where that sort of thing ended very badly but the English nationalism behind Brexit was painfully obvious. The distinction would be lost on most Trump supporters in the United States and on the Little Englanders who voted for Brexit in Britain, but it's absolutely clear to the French, and indeed to most Europeans. For some in both countries it's actually white nationalism, but even the many non-racists who voted for Trump or Brexit draw the line at the border or the water's edge. Whereas the French men and women who voted for Macron understand the difference between patriotism and nationalism very well. There's us, and on the far side there's them. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
