We’ve tried nationalism on for size, why not socialism?

    The evangelicals most definitely support your beloved BLOTUS.

    When it comes to racism and Christianity the odious Apartheid regime was based upon the Christian bible.

    Nationalism under Trump is hardly making us "the top dog in the entire world." Quite the contrary and the working middle class will
    find out as prices rise dramatically due to his nationalistic policies.

    So, going only off speculations. Sorry, more regulations is what stifles small businesses because they cant cover the expenses. The big corporations like Walmart and Target push for more restrictive regulations to kill off smaller competition. Best part of the internet sales was that there typically was no sales tax, making it cheaper. Now the government has made a regulation to tax internet sales. Monopolies can't happen without government assistance.

    Regulations were put into effect as a result of wrongdoing. I can understand the reduction of regulation, but to arbitrarily eliminate them
    is exposing the American people to unscrupulous activity by big business.

    Um no most regulations were put into effect because bureaucrats thought they knew better. Most of the time, in fact, they fixed nothing, and not infrequently created the very problems they would later complain of. The housing debacle of 2006 was largely the product of this sort of government induced myopia.

    The Title of the OP tells me that you don't know much about the subjects

    Nationalism is an ideology that states that a particular Nation is superior to all others
    Socialism is an economic philosophy where the state owns and runs the means of production

    You can be both a nationalist and a socialist - in English, the acronym NAZI means National Socialist.

    Definition of nationalism: loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness (see consciousness 1c) exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.

    Definition of Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the state.

    Socialism can only slow an economy. It cannot improve an economy.

    Thanks for the opportunity to post this again for the benefit of others.

    Quite the opposite when dems have been losing elections SINCE 2010, the year Obamacare was introduced.

    Well over 1000+ seats lost across the board at local, state, and federal levels of power. That's pre-Roosevelt 1929 levels of power.

    It's 89 YEARS of power loss in less than a decade. That points to YOU being brainwashed by the media.

    There is a common thread in all your posts; and that is calling all conservatives "racist white supremacists", and the religious right "backwards". Your love of Antifa is showing.
