Conservatives use to be supportive of free market capitalism. But since the rise of Trump I increasingly see that their main platform is white nativism and weirdly argued protectionism.

It is worth noting that Trump's protectionism and views on immigration are nearly same as that of Bernie Sanders. (Motivation might be different but Trump and Bernie are likely to support exact same actions).

Marco Rubio's statement does not surprise me, it is the general direction in which Republican party is headed.



What is "white nativism"


Nativism [1] pitched specifically to appeal to whites?
