I’m getting really tired of my political cartoons being right… I drew this back in May.
Nationalist =/= white supremacy.
Sigh…
In a perfect world, we could debate about the semantics over the word till the cows come home. But the fact of the matter is that when Trump uses the word Nationalist, he’s using a very SPECIFIC version of the word. Hell, he even SAYS “you’re not supposed to say this word” which indicates that the version he’s referring to is the BAD one. And given his history of overt racism, it’s DEEPLY troubling to hear the President of the United States admit that he is one.
So you know what, I’m REALLY not into having a debate about this. You and I both know what version he means and why this is a problem, otherwise you wouldn’t even bring it up.
And for everyone else, here’s a good article explaining it: “Donald Trump used a word he’s ‘not supposed to.’ Here’s why.”
