Antle, W James. “The Liberal Error of Conflating Nationalism with Racism.” The Week, The Week, 11 July 2017, www.theweek.com/articles/710599/liberal-error-conflating-nationalism-racism
This article focuses on the misconception some have on the liberal side of American politics that nationalism in its purest form is intertwined with racism. It goes into detail about a speech in Poland made by Trump in which many reporters picked up on what they thought were alt-right terms. They misunderstand the term “The West”, viewing it as being a Christian and white only society used by the alt-right. The article goes on to explain that within the alt-right “The West” might as well mean white, but that intertwining nationalism constantly with racism will cause the more temperate conservatives to associate themselves with such racist principals.
