Fighting nationalists is deeply instinctual for marxists (and fighting American nationalism is natural for neocons), which is why the left and media (and even his own party during the primary, and some even afterward), went into rabid dog attack mode when Trump rode to victory on an America-first platform.
Take away his nationalist views and you eliminate the fervor and hatred of Trump down to normal levels of hatred for Republicans (which, as we have seen in the case of neocon John McCain, can become almost love when he is contrasted with a nationalist).
What made Trump improbably successful on an America-first agenda in a country where a large % of the host population has been indoctrinated to hate itself is that he is a force of nature. And the article talks about some of the aspects of his character that make him so resolute in the face of endless mockery, vitriol, hatred and demonization.
But what animates the opposition is not the man, but the message. Remember, he was a Hollywood celebrity before he started talking this (dangerous to marxist agenda) America-first message. He just happens to be the right messenger for this time, but eventually, to preserve America, we will need more nationalists in government and other aspects of public life.
Absolutely. This racist, misogynist has employed more women and people of color (to the point of being awarded for it) than most of his peers. It wasn't until he ran for president that the left started attacking him.
