"First" implies a sequential order. America "First," then X second, then Y third, and so on. It follows the ideal that you have to fix your own house before you go trying to help someone else. "Secure your own mask first before..." you know the rest. But the problem is that I don't think we'll ever reach the point where we get to helping anyone else. Not with this attitude. I think there will always be some national crisis that we are trying to fix. And, so, instead of "America First," it's more like "America Only." And what does that really mean? Well, it's dangerous nationalism. It completely throws out the window the fact that we're all human beings. Suddenly, of you're not on this side of the fence, you don't matter. [b]That kind of selfish, callous ideology is dangerous.[/b] It is a slippery slope fueled by greed and fear. Fear of the other. Fear of losing power. Fear of a day coming when we can't fulfill all of our selfish desires. But as long as we're happy, it's to hell with everyone else. That is the true sentiment at the heart of "America First."
