The shroud of nationalism now wrapped over America since the victory of Donald Trump is weird. Protrumpists feel nationalistic power hating non-whites and antitrumpists feel nationalistic power championing with shouts and protests the freedom to live with any identity and any skin color any way at all. One of the big cries on the left is the demand that the government in Washington not have control of what a woman does with her body. Those on the right demand that their multicolored nation ruled by Washington belong only to white bodies.The greedy group in Congress plotting to gobble up public wealth from federal taxes by passing laws with little or nothing to do with genuine national goals is weird also since whatever it does is accepted by all as the legal and normal action of a nation. Woe to all Americans who believe because we created Washington that it belongs to us! Woe to any of us who believe Washington bureaucrats and politicians are our champions exercising national power for us! We created Washington with limited sovereign powers that if exercised justly would make our union of states more perfect. But history and men acting dishonorably and imperfectly assigned to Washington more powers than the Constitution intended and so here we are all of us, politicians, bureaucrats, trumpists, antitrumpists forced to have weird nationalistic fantasies and to pretend that the weird and selfish acts in Washington are normal. What is the bottom line, what is the real truth? It is that Washington can never purify itself and act normally unless it uses its gigantic power exclusively for the good of all humanity. That of course would include us Americans and make us normal too.
