It's american nationalism performed through the use of ritual slagging off of national enemies instead of through the use of worshipping an american flag.
Republicans perform their nationalism through "America First"
Democrats perform their nationalism through "Putin/Kim/Xi must be second!"
This single degree of separation allows dems to convince themselves they're not nationalists, but are patriots, in reality it's just two shades of the exact same thing that results in the exact same foreign policy. Imperialism coming home in the form of ICE doing occupations and terror campaigns in cities is a direct result of this nationalist support for imperialism abroad.
In my opinion the exact moment when a person addresses this nationalism inside themselves is the same moment that a person becomes an anti-imperialist and properly graduates into the international leftist movement.
