Concern about a foreign tyrant rigging our election is "nationalistic jingoism"? KamaAina Dec 2016 #5
Nono, not the concern. Although mostly fake, it's harmless with logical thinking. Shandris Dec 2016 #6

To see DU FILLED TO THE BRIM with nationalistic jingoism simply because it suits the narrative (but as for why a narrative must exist if 'the truth' is known is never addressed).

It's actually hilarious, in a sick, disgusting way. Trump ran on nationalism, and the opposition party are being the most hardline nationalists on the internet (immediately after running on Open Borders and 'I want to be like Angela Merkel!').

I think I'll just let that sink in.

But look across the board at all the posts talking so very violently about Russians, 'coup', 'taking over the nation', etc. That's the phrasing I was referring to.
