His unconventional appeal among alienated working-class and middle-class Americans who are drawn to populism, nativism and protectionism — most of whom are white — has led to speculation that he is not just reshaping the party but possibly even expanding it.

So when they asked me about Mr. Trump, what they really wanted to know was if all their hopeful ideas were wrong, if America was actually a bleak and violent place where bigotry and nativism could really fuel a candidate.
|
|
That's what we need to do now, in this moment, and I believe every time people stand up like that, the cycle of welcoming others gets longer and longer and the periods of nativism, of rejection, get shorter and shorter.

Today, the political and social sensibilities of the two leagues have been exposed like never before, and the fault line between them touches many of the controversies roiling the country: race relations, the gulf between liberals and conservatives, American nativism vs.

Today, as the party of Trump traffics in nativism, racism, archaic views of women's and gay rights, with political and economic policies lifted from Gilded Age robber barons, it is useful to remember the words of another, far wiser Republican.

With this backlash comes the threat of protectionism in economics, isolationism in foreign policy, and a resurgent nativism and xenophobia in politics — precisely the toxic mix that the North American and European visionaries of Atlanticism sought to prevent when they laid its foundations.

Mr. Farhadi's script is far too busy — the movie is crammed with characters and underexplored themes, including class tensions, nativism and ugly attitudes toward migrant workers — but he's exceptionally deft at mining the spaces that open up between people, particularly during a crisis.

One of the central points in Sanders's appeal -- that he is an populist outsider singlehandedly taking on the Washington establishment -- is at the heart of Trump's appeal to his supporters (in addition to his racist nativism, but that's a story for another day).

Trump, I was told, was a product of peculiarly American strains of populism that flare up periodically, like the anti-immigrant nativism in the 1920s or Huey P. Long in 1930s Louisiana, but would never reach as far as the White House.

However, some former Republican leaders, pollsters and former candidates say Mr. Trump has brought formerly fringe sentiments of explicit nativism and racism to the fore — and the result is a party that is growing more racially monolithic in an increasingly diverse age.

|
There's no question this is a hot-button issue, an issue where people have very strong opinions on both sides, and it's an issue that is susceptible to nativism and the stoking of fear and division and paranoia the way that Trump has done.

Mr. Goldwater, still in the Senate, threw his support in the late 1970s behind the Sagebrush Rebellion, a movement in the West to assert local control over federal lands — and one of the first signs of a new upswell in militant nativism in Arizona.

In a nod to this current mood, this year's World Economic Forum (WEF) is titled "Responsive and Responsible Leadership" and its official agenda describes a "weakening of multiple systems" that has eroded confidence and speaks of a possible "downward spiral" fuelled by protectionism, populism and nativism.

The American media's rush to rationalize Trump as part of a worldwide upsurge in nativism belies the consistent polling that shows him to be uniformly rejected by the rest of the world by astonishing margins, even in nations whose own nativist anti-establishment candidates poll strongly.

While they are all clear foils to Mr. Trump's nativism and policy apathy, they all seem to have hyper-strategized their brands to either subtly or explicitly make identity appeals to sections within their party coalition, which has more mini factions than a college friends group text.

It took the rise of the second Klan — the one founded by William Simmons in 1915, in response to the release of the Klan-friendly film The Birth of the Nation and a rising nativism in the United States — to create a formal space for women.

"Jeanette Viguerra's courage -- as an immigrant, a mother, and a survivor of crime -- to stand true against the nativism of the Trump administration serves as a humbling reminder of what the real American values of courage, dedication, and perseverance look like," Vizguerra's lawyer, Hans Meyer, said in a statement.

Even before Donald Trump decided to build his Republican presidential campaign on a foundation of ugly nativism, accusing Mexico of sending rapists and other criminals to flood America and vowing to build a wall on the southern border, Hispanic voters have strongly favoured Democrats in recent presidential elections.
|
|
One lesson of Mr Trump's success to date is that the Republicans' old combination of shrink-the-state flintiness and social conservatism is less popular with primary voters than Trumpism, a blend of populism and nativism delivered with a sure, 21st-century touch for reality television and social media.

Labour also seems likely to tear itself apart, after its hard-left leader, Jeremy Corbyn, campaigned half-heartedly for Remain and the party's leaders were forced to confront their abandonment by English working-class voters fired up by Leave's message of anti-globalisation and haul-up-the-drawbridge nativism.

Bannon's scathing remarks on Friday night amounted to a retort to a Bush speech in New York earlier this week, in which the 43rd president denounced bigotry in Trump-era American politics and warned that the rise of "nativism," isolationism and conspiracy theories have clouded the nation's true identity.
|
|
If Bunker was a Frankenstein creature, who arose from his liberal creator's writing desk to engulf his context, so Trump is a nightmare uprising of an unstable and potent vein of American unreality, called forth by more than a century's indulgence of dreams of exceptionalism, privilege and demonizing nativism.
|
|
From his very first news conference as a presidential candidate, when he denounced Mexican border-crossers as rapists and criminals, a rancid nativism — aimed at people who have darker skins than Norwegians — has been Trump's tribalist weapon of choice, his scalpel prodding the worst impulses of the American spirit.
|

Dyed-in-the-wool xenophobes are likely to prefer the real thing over watered-down versions of nativism, and in any case, the populist right "can always respond to any matching of its offer by simply upping the ante," as two political scientists in Britain recently put it.
|
|
I wondered if the anger — and, yes, nativism — that has animated Trump's rise was always going to be a core part of the Republican race this year, and whether, in retrospect, Rubio was always destined to be a bad fit for the G.O.P. of 2016, whether Trump came along or not.
|
|
The incumbent president, Donald Trump, is clear about where he is guiding the Republican Party — white nativism at home and America First unilateralism abroad, brazen corruption, escalating culture wars, a judiciary stacked with ideologues and the veneration of a mythological past where the hierarchy in American society was defined and unchallenged.
|

In a party now dominated by Donald Trump's proposed Muslim-banning, Ted Cruz's "I don't know if sand can glow in the dark" carpet-bombing threats and Marco Rubio's "out of place in our own country" nativism, Haley's words arrived like a cleansing rain: hopeful, inclusive, magnanimous and conservative all at once.
|
|
But by 2010, Perdue was already warning that nativism had gone too far in some conservative circles, cautioning fellow Republicans to avoid a "gang-type mentality" and to make sure that "people of color and people who are not U.S.-born" feel welcome in the United States and in the Republican Party.

The, you know the thing that they -- I think the people who are rallying to him would say -- I mean, some of it is just, I think, grounded in pure racism, and nativism, and all of that, but there also is the fact that the economy; you mentioned globalism, technology... STEWART: Mm-hmm.

But this year, the GOP convention has been as disappointing as the campaign thus far: A reminder that in an increasingly perilous world, GOP voters are set on a reality TV host whose appeal lies in his nativism, brash and unapologetic ignorance and the irrefutable fact that he is not Hillary Clinton.
|
|
While some of these dreams have come true, many more have been held back by legal and legislative rollbacks and threatened by a resurgence of white nativism that has mainstreamed "old school" racism and catapulted a major presidential candidate who is openly supported by members of white supremacist groups and other hate groups.
|
|
According to the New York Times, which obtained the still-unofficial speaking roster and confirmed it with "two people with direct knowledge of the convention planning," White's speech is just one small part of a four-day extravaganza of racial paranoia, political conspiracy, rabid nativism, B-list sports personalities, scandal-mongering, and sex obsession.

Overall, populists of the right tend to combine populism with some form of nativism — for example, the populist radical right parties of France's National Front and Geert Wilders' Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV); or neoliberalism, such as neoliberal populist parties like the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) and politicians like former Brazilian President Fernando Collor.
|

But now, as it became clear that the bombing suspect, Cesar Sayoc Jr., 56, was a die-hard backer of the president, whose white van was a mobile shrine to him — plastered with stickers celebrating Mr. Trump and vilifying his foes — the president's appeals to nativism and partisan furies threatened to boomerang on him.
|
|
This ban, along with the plan to build a wall along the United States border with Mexico, is indicative of deeper issues regarding American white nativism and the fact that millions of Americans have become so gripped by hopelessness and fear that they are willing to overlook constitutional violations and ignore their own moral conscience.
|
|
We get cameos by the pioneering journalist Margaret Fuller and the anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells, but also Mary Elizabeth Lease, a 19th-century populist whose nativism might have worn a Make American Great Again hat, and Phyllis Schlafly, leader of the brigade of suburban housewife-activists who largely powered the postwar conservative movement.
|
|
One pastor at the VU blithely insisted that Dutch churches must denounce "gender ideology" now because they had failed to call out Nazism (which was, incidentally, murderously homophobic.) Although Mr Wilders, the champion of Dutch nativism, has stayed almost silent, some conservative commentators accused leftists of hypocrisy, in other words of condemning homophobia among Christians, but not among Muslims.
|
|
That decision, maybe like no other, helped usher in a 2016 GOP presidential nominee -- by legitimizing irrationality and bigotry and nativism -- who spent the primaries talking about building walls and a deportation force and thinking fondly of the "Operation Wetback" era but flipped to (sort of) embracing the bipartisan immigration reform bill Boehner unwisely passed on.

The girl later admitted to fabricating the alleged attack, though by this time the cycle of fake news had riled up groups already predisposed to nativism, and in doing so showed Germany the divisive potential of disinformation spread by Russian propaganda outlets, a key part in Moscow's alleged attempts to influence several elections outside Russia's borders.

That's the only possible explanation for the smarmy, self-congratulatory five-minute video his dead (or undead) campaign released this weekend, featuring a Cruz staffer musing to an unseen audience about the nature of loss, regret, and the nobility of failing to stop a candidate whose angry nativism and fearmongering was only a shade darker than Cruz's.

When Star Trek Beyond hit theaters, Simon Pegg wasn't shy about discussing how the film was an attack against surges in xenophobia and nativism in the US and UK — and now Pegg, director J.J.

White House Letter WASHINGTON — When President Obama travels to North Carolina and Europe this week, he will press an argument that could define foreign policy in the last six months of his presidency: that Americans and Europeans must not forsake their open, interconnected societies for the nativism and nationalism preached by Donald J. Trump or Britain's Brexiteers.

Just as Donald Trump dug up ideas long thought to have been dead and buried in this country – nativism, protectionism, "America First" isolationism – the rhetoric and political demands of Europe's extreme right contain disturbing echoes of the virulent nationalism that swept the continent during the 1920s and 85033s and plunged the world into history's bloodiest war.

He sees opportunity in a Europe that is split down the middle between nations like Hungary and Poland that make no attempt to sugarcoat their anti-immigrant nativism and states like Germany that have not forgotten that the pursuit of racially and religiously homogeneous societies lay at the core of the most heinous crimes of the last century.

|
I know options are limited when you're running a campaign based on fear, nativism and general bullsh*t, but Manafort serves a very specific purpose: he is part of the underworld of politics where dealing with other Trump campaign standouts like Carter Page and Roger Stone (who I imagine will be getting knocks on their doors from FBI agents very soon) is normal.
|
|
From his dismissal of "shithole countries" to his attempts to institute a "Muslim travel ban," from his incendiary rhetoric about Mexican immigrants being rapists and criminals, to his latest attempts to prevent the Honduran migrants to seeking asylum, Trump's approach to borders has been one of nativism and insularity by protecting (his idea of white) America at the expense of everyone else.

He earned a master's degree in education from Teachers College at Columbia; taught for a year in what he called "a high school for spoiled kids" in Syosset, on Long Island; earned a doctorate at New York University, where his thesis was on nativism in New York; won a Fulbright scholarship to Australia; and returned to N.Y.U. to teach in 1967.

" FAIR calls itself pro-immigrant, but nativism is at the heart of its policies and messaging: Immigration, in FAIR's view, threatens to subvert the soul and character of the United States — immigrants steal American jobs and exploit social welfare, they bring their lawless ways to the nation's cities and have transformed a once-great country into what Trump described during his inauguration speech as "American carnage.

The council itself was created almost 85033 years ago to push back when the region and the nation were facing the pulls of nativism, protectionism and retreat from the world after the seismic shock of World War I. Today the council works to reprise its founding role, and offer a positive, outward-oriented and tangible new economic vision for the Midwest and our country.
|
|
It is this resistance to forgetting that must be nurtured as we find ourselves in the midst of a dangerous form of antiglobalism, white nativism and xenophobia under Trump's vision for making America "great again," a vision closer to D. W. Griffith's 1915 "The Birth of a Nation" — a film predicated upon white fear and denigration of the black other — than that of an actual nation.

Even if you suppose, that is, that mass immigration would be an unalloyed good in a world where Western populations could manage to overcome their (or what you think of as their) bigotry and nativism and racism, in the world that actually exists politicians have to account for those forces and not simply assume that the right Facebook rules and elite-level political conspiracies can perpetually keep a lid on populism.

Republicans were never going to beat Kaine, but it could always get worse, & it has #VASen Winner: Steve King, Iowa's Fourth Congressional District Steve King has a long history of nativism and racism: He's endorsed a white nationalist for mayor of Toronto, conducted interviews with alt-right outlets, attended events alongside far-right European groups with Nazi ties, and even kept a small version of the Confederate flag on his desk for years.

In both cases, the Trump administration has engaged in policies that are designed to limit migration, both legal and undocumented, without much attention to the obvious humanitarian consequences, whether they happen to kids in detention without toothbrushes or soap or to thousands of migrants forced to wait for months without any idea of when they might be able to enter the US. Nativism is, at its core, a proposition about what kinds of people matter.

As Douthat put it last week: Even if you suppose, that is, that mass immigration would be an unalloyed good in a world where Western populations could manage to overcome their (or what you think of as their) bigotry and nativism and racism, in the world that actually exists politicians have to account for those forces and not simply assume that the right Facebook rules and elite-level political conspiracies can perpetually keep a lid on populism.

It continues: God commands His people to treat immigrants with the same respect and dignity as those native born ... we desire to see immigration reform include an emphasis on securing our borders and providing a pathway to legal status with appropriate restitutionary measures, maintaining the priority of family unity, resulting in an efficient immigration system that honors the value and dignity of those seeking a better life for themselves and their families … any form of nativism, mistreatment, or exploitation is inconsistent with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Many of the new populists nakedly embrace nativism and bigotry over open borders and civic inclusion, protectionism over free trade — a concept given its most coherent expression in Britain by Adam SmithDavid (Adam) Adam SmithWarren's pledge to avoid first nuclear strike sparks intense pushback Landmark US-Russia arms control treaty poised for final blow Young Democrats look to replicate Ocasio-Cortez's primary path MORE — and a return to 19th-century style völkisch nationalism over the liberal internationalism championed by Britain, the United States and other democracies in the 20th century.

For Brexit foes preoccupied with the fact that forces of reaction and xenophobia carried the day in the U.K., New York Times columnist Ross Douthat suggested their own unwillingness to accommodate the reactionaries and xenophobes may explain their defeat: Even if you suppose … that mass immigration would be an unalloyed good in a world where Western populations could manage to overcome their (or what you think of as their) bigotry and nativism and racism, in the world that actually exists politicians have to account for those forces and not simply assume that the right Facebook rules and elite-level political conspiracies can perpetually keep a lid on populism.

He points out there are some overlooked realities in the image of the United States they want to portray (read the whole thing, but this is a solid taste): Because this line, "American history, despite periods of nativism and bigotry, has from the first been a grand experiment in bringing people of different backgrounds together, not pitting them against one another," from the Writers Against Trump statement is not only empirically false, it's a continuation of the ongoing legacy of sanitized lies America has shoved down its own throat since its creation; Because we, the people who continue to struggle in the face of that lie, and whose ancestors suffered and died from the reality that lie conceals, are fully fed the fuck up with people who claim to have our backs dishonoring our past and perpetuating that lie; Because in an age when we still have to shut down highways to declare whose lives matter, the lie of American exceptionalism and "a grand experiment" is really a way of valuing one life, one story, one experience over another; Because no matter how many times you say words like "freedom" and "justice," genocide is still genocide and slavery is still slavery.
