The Left's Misdefinition of Americanism

<![CDATA[This week, Axios ran a fascinating piece about the supposed "redefinition" of Americanism under President Donald Trump. Titled "Inside Trump's American identity project," Axios posited that "President Trump is wielding government power to enforce a more rigid, exclusionary definition of what it means to be American." What would this new definition entail? "In MAGA's telling, America is the heir to ancient European civilizations, built on a Judeo-Christian foundation of white identity, meritocracy, traditional gender roles and the nuclear family," says Axios. "These tenets are cast as universal truths — and mantras such as 'America is an idea' or 'diversity is our strength' are dismissed as liberal fictions."]]>
