This "Democratic Nationalism" that was on display these four days of the DNC has been scary to watch, esp. when even people like AOC and Bernie Sanders buy into it.

Democrats came up with a reactionary working class nationalism that could have made every MAGA proud, coupled with a typical Democratic agenda of social reform they labelled "freedom".

At least Kamala Harris didn't promise the Palestinians a "state" (for which Israel, not the U.S., would have to pay).

Still, hearing roaring "USA! USA!" chants at a Democratic convention gives me a chill. The Brown Shirts in their stomping marching had a left-flank too, back then, only to be dismantled in 1932, its advocates killed in 1934 (Georg Strasser in the Röhm purge).

The Democrats don't seem to realize how much they already dance to Trump's fiddle. There is no sane or "healthy" nationalism.

Or put differently (herein following German Federal President Gustav Heinemann): You don't "love" your country, you love your spouse.
