Do you think a template on nationalism, as a counterweight to the template on globalism, would work well?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 22:06, 1 September 2019 (EDT)

:I think it would be helpful -- it could include links to articles like [[Border wall]], [[Economic nationalism]], [[Self-governance]], [[sovereignty]], [[National conservatism]], [[Euroskepticism]], [[Patriotism]], [[Subsidiarity]], [[Founding Fathers]], and [[U.S. Constitution]], among others. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 22:25, 1 September 2019 (EDT)

== The Dixiecrat, Conservative Democrat, and Reagan Democrat Pages ==
"Dixiecrat was the informal term for Southern Democrats who in 1948 refused to support President Harry S. Truman for reelection because he was too liberal on racial issues."
Shouldn't it say because he was too conservative on racial issues since it was the LIBERAL Democrats who were against civil rights?
Doesn't this:
"The Dixiecrats went back to the Democrats, where they came into increasingly more conflict with the liberal sections of the party, and eventually abandoned the Democratic Party for the Republican Party after the presidency of Lyndon Johnson."
play into the liberal narrative that the racist conservatives switched parties and Dixiecrats were conservatives when in fact they were racist southern liberals?
On the Reagan Democrats page, this feeds into the narrative that the racists jumped ships:
"Most were working men and women who had come to feel that the Democratic party was no longer championing them,but favored blacks instead."
On the Conservative Democrats page, it says:
"A few former Dixiecrats, including Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms, were early converts to the Republican Party, foreshadowing a long trend of conservatives leaving the Democrats and joining the Republicans that continued through the 1980s and 1990s."
Only 3 Dixiecrats ever switched. The rest remained Democrats until they died. There was no switch and the Dixiecrats were not conservatives. They were liberals. Can you please explain why these pages insist they were conservatives who were opposed to the liberals when it's us, the conservatives who were for civil rights and the liberals who were against it or clarify the edits on the pages? --[[User:Classical Liberal|Classical Liberal]] ([[User talk:Classical Liberal|talk]]) 09:16, 21 September 2019 (EDT)
