I’m not talking about the terminology which I am quite aware of. I’m talking about a feigned nationalism based primarily around foreign issues with an underlying dependence on US trade.
True patriots and nationalists, and yes there are plenty, don’t see this as a fight. They see it as a disappointing loss for the United States. The real “fight” is unfortunately with our own government and their capitulation to a global sense of political subversion that erodes history and establishes ideology as a national identity.
While I don’t disagree with the essence of your point, keep in mind that “no true Scotsman” is a common thought fallacy, in this case, “no true patriot or nationalist”. You can’t speak for everyone.
Patriotism is a complex topic, but I think we can all agree that, for example, companies weaseling themselves into the Canadian market under the guise of patriotism is not okay. Intention matters.
