Right, thanks Martha, *American Affair*, not *National Affairs*. Point still stands: *American Affair* is trying to distinguish nationalism from the embarrassment it has suffered at the hands of Trump. As for "half-joking" about Zizek, the 'joke' is that Zizek has been arguing for a red-brown alliance, which came directly in the wake of arguing for restricting immigration from Muslim countries, and diatribes about transgender people < https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/zizeks-transgender-trouble/>. Zizek is not a marxist, but a Hegelian. Like Hegel, he's been making arguments for a Christian state.
