Nationalism and nativism pops up every few generations. Always has. We beat it every time and it shuts up and the world dramatically improves for a while. As it improves, some people become nativists and nationalists, and the cycle repeats.

Google the “Know-Nothing Party.” Trump isn’t anything new at all.

Only problem is, just like a super hero, we have to win every time, and they only have to win once.
