How would that work though? Nationalistic people tend to be anti-EU, no?

You're taking it too literally. I don't know if nationalists tend to be anti-EU, though you're right that a lot of them are, but I was using nationalistic there very loosely to refer to the negative aspects of nationalistic ideology as applied to Europe


and the EU, in particular.

That being said, it's very easy to get hooked into a Buy European craze and then shift into Buy YourNation, which can quickly turn into "We're better than everyone else and if you don't think that you're a traitor" and so on and so on...

Eh I just don't see it.. There are just too many ideological conflicts between being nationalist/myNation and being motivated in participating in the avoid USA movement in the first place. The way I see it, they are direct opposite crowds.

For example, do you think Canadians are in danger of going full nationalist because they are avoiding usa products now because Trump wants to make them 51st state?

If anything, it's mostly a liberal movement.
