Which political ideology do you most identify with?
Can embracing civic nationalism help us find common ground on environmental issues?

1st: I ask for the hard statistics that suggests this is likely to happen.
2nd: I'd take a case of American Exceptionalism over bigotry, hatred, political violence, ETC. It's not perfect, but it's still better. And better is...well, better.
3rd: I'd argue that living a life steeped in embracing the culture and beliefs of others would cause us to apply that view to the entire world, thus being more empathetic and dispelling the air of American Exceptionalism.
Nationalism is bizarre -- the inability to separate country (land) from nation (political construct) is both piteous and cultish. Notice how I end my sentences with periods.
