Vox Popoli: The heart of the debate



Donald Trump sums up the existential question:
"I have a very hardline position - we either have a country or we don't have a country."

That's Trump, explaining why he might be the one candidate GOP voters can trust on immigration.
The problem, of course, is that far too many Americans have been convinced that their country is nothing more than an idea. A "proposition nation". Which is to say that it doesn't exist at all.

Those who are fixated on the various policies espoused by the different candidates are failing to grasp the situation: America is not a given. And after being invaded by 60 million foreigners, America is already not America.

That's why they talk about New America. New America sounds very exciting and progressive and all, but the key thing is to understand that in this context, "new" is synonymous with "not".
