Right wing populism filled the void. It's probably the only class based politiics there is right now.
Yeah, they are pernicious elitist, that have a disdain for blue collar people and their families.

That's fine but people are tired of the constant attempt to play dumb about racism. Multiple threads of "I have no idea why a white-nationalist is considered racist" *shoulders shrugged.
No one thinks like an early 20th century WASP. Stop playing that card.

We are taking about politics not symbols that represent America. I think Cuban Americans are some of the most Americans of Americans and they listen to mambo and eat Latin food all day every day.

As a rule, when people use "card" as "race card" or "that card" I know they've kind of run out of a steam on a topic.

You still have not said why African Americans are against undocumented immigrants.
I'm black american and no I don't feel shame or sorrow that's more your own feelings because of social scrutiny but I am black american I'm telling you I don't find it shameful so it has nothing to with illegal aliens

Well you tried to end the debate by saying that it's racism plain and simple without reason.

there is reason there. you just don't want to admit it. And like I said... people play dumb about racism when you get all the way passed all the semantics and fluff. You want to know why nationalism for whites aka white nationalists is considered racist is because in practice when you see it out in the open, they generally show up looking like klan members/Nazis/extremists. Don't play stupid like you don't know this. As another poster stated, if you mean patriotism in America that's different, but as far as white-nationalists go, they clearly have a definitive agenda based around having a white nation state set up. This is not rocket science. You don't need a sociology degree to understand this.
