Wokeness Is Awful. Nationalism Is Far Worse.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The core potential political constituency for nationalism in the U.S. is white Christians, a group that constitutes a plurality of the population.
53% : They generally view foreigners with deep suspicion, support severe restrictions on immigration and international trade, and tend to back large welfare-state programs.
51% : Academics should do more to combat racial and ethnic preferences in higher education, for example, and reduce ideological discrimination in faculty hiring.
48% : It's long past time for right-leaning critics of both ideologies to treat nationalism for what it is: the greatest threat to liberal democratic institutions today.
43% : But despite such caveats, the threat of nationalism is on another level.
39% : But concerns about wokeness have distracted many on the center-right from a more serious danger, one far more likely to gain widespread support and cause great harm: nationalism.
37% : Perhaps worst of all, the growth of nationalism poses a severe threat to democratic institutions.
28% : In his first term, Trump cut the latter far more than the former, and he and his "national conservative" allies would do more in a second term.
