Those whose life’s mission is resistance to Trump were encouraged by George W. Bush’s recent jabs at the president. Bush was primarily concerned about defending his administration’s foreign policy, and while Trump-haters also despised Bush back then, Trump is today’s enemy and it seems that my enemy’s enemy is my friend.
What was more interesting in Bush’s speech was what he had to say about nationalism. Trump-haters struggle to understand just what happened in last year’s election, but as the mist clears it’s become apparent that we’re witnessing the rise of a new conservatism that is explicitly nationalist.
