    Ok, well down here nativism is a term deeply tied to an era of extreme anti immigrant sentiment, violent racism, and just generally a whole lot of bad behavior from our country folk.

    Calling something nativist is like calling something fascist. It’s using their own term from a different era because it’s developed such a bad association thanks to their bad behavior and ideas.
