Curious about this point. I think you’re right many people are unaware of the boilerplate “white nationalist rhetoric.” As such, whatever nods there may have been toward them, how do you divine whether they were intentional or not?
It’s is conceivable to me that you can make an argument that is pro-America, pro-traditional values, etc and have some overlap with whatever points white nationalists might make. Just as you can make arguments critical of the US on race and equality and echo some of the boilerplate BLM and woke rhetoric. Just because there’s overlap or similarity doesn’t mean It’s a direct reference or the now-hackneyed
I think our generalized inability to recognize that extremists on both sides are not necessarily 100% wrong about everything. The issue with extremists and fanatics is the fact that they push both causes and proposed solutions to their absurdist extremes (hence the label).
Anyway, I’m curious how you can KNOW that’s what he was doing. Since I’m totally unaware of what constitutes boilerplate white nationalist rhetoric I wouldn’t know it if it bit me. Based on all available data on these things, I believe that’s true for 95% of Americans.
