This is why isolationist nationalism is inherently imperialist - because no country has all the resources it needs. Since an isolationist nationalist regime does not want to rely on allies and trade partners to get the resources it lacks, it feels compelled to try to secure them with conquest.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

We have decades of writings from the IDW figures influencing this administration that VERY CLEARLY lay out that they want to destroy Liberal Democracy and replace it with some kind of totalitarian, neo-monarchist system. They're fully committed to this and the media just does. not. fucking. care.

“Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man.”
