  I’d be surprised if you were incapable of independent thought. If your political views all fit neatly within a single party’s mainstream it could be true but there’s enough that isn’t subject to political shibboleths that you likely hold some unconventional views. Just being the kind of person who takes part on a discussion board like this is (weak) evidence of the kind of engagement with ideas that renders taking a party line unlikely. Nationalist views are not as old as time. They postdate imperial views substantially.

I don’t think open borders is compatible with the current constitutional settlement in the US. If that makes me a nationalist so be it.
