I've said it before and I'll say it again: During WWII, we needed to adopt our own kind of nationalism in order to beat the Nazis. The trouble is, this nationalism didn't end with the end of WWII and the defeat of the Nazis, but continued to be nurtured by anti-communist fears, and exacerbated by the Space Race during the Cold War... throughout all of that, there is ONE political ideology/party/wing that has consistently, fervently, and incessantly continued to push a nationalist angle, and that is the current right-wing/Republican/"conservative" ideology -- they are a clear minority but they believe they're a "silent majority" that is being held back from being a Jedi Master because the Leftist Jedi Council is afraid of their power.... wait... I think I'm getting my plots confused... am I?
