Being a cynic, I expect the speeches to start with that then smoothly translate into "and therefore we have to spend more money on waging war in foreign countries". The US is exemplifying some of the best international values right now of trying to find a sharp end to all the meaningless dying we've been seeing for the last few years.

If it takes nationalism to make people serious about avoiding WWIII, so be it. Vote nationalist.

It's not rape if you agree to it.

If nuance is that hard to equip, then please do, but please be keenly aware that this is your own choice. No one will save you from your own actions.
You mean rape, fraud, corruption, narcissim, tax the poor, cut social welfare, suck up to the agressor, anti-tolerance, etc?
