If there is any central principle to Trumpism, it is the mixture of..


jingoism, nativism, and racism. The country is becoming more diverse and they feel threatened. They essentially don't buy into the notion of justice and equality for all, thinking it is a zero sum game.

This strain of us vs them shows thru everything from birtherism, to shit hole countries, to building a wall, to immigration bans based on religion/ethnicity, and on and on.

This has always been an element of the GOP and far right, but was mostly kept in the shadows. Trump has simply brought it out to make it a prominent feature of his attempt to hold onto power. In other words anything and everything for the cause.
