Thom argues nationalism and patriotism are not the same thing and that nationalism is inimical to patriotism. He quotes the French president:
President Macron said that nationalism is a betrayal. “By pursuing our own interests first with no regard to others, we erase the very thing that a nation hold most precious, that which gives it life and what makes it great, its moral values.”
He also points out that America was founded on an idea, however imperfectly that idea may have been implemented, not on white DNA. He argues that today’s Republican Party has forsaken patriotism for (white) nationalism. And, to steal a phrase from Mark Twain that my two or three regular readers know quite well, Thom hears an echo a rhyme from history.
Listen to his reasoning.

Mangy comments on the Youtube page:
Mangy Fetlocks is a proud Wisconsinite, and although he wasn’t REALLY asked to write the official Republican National Convention Song, he learned from Trump that it’s not what you do, but what you SAY you do that matters in our post-truth MAGA America, and Mangy SAYS he wrote the National Convention Song and Mangy has been an official in a children’s soccer game once, so his claim is just as honest as Trump’s pussy-grabbing statements or his “I never took any documents” claims.
