General Electric basically lumped all the right-leaning parties together in their manifesto—everything from the moderate types to the absolute extremists. They even threw in those national-socialist groups, despite them being considered left-wing by most standards.
The Democratic Party and the Libertarian Party were called out specifically as regionalists or nationalists. It’s funny because they didn't bother mentioning how these groups actually deal with minorities or Muslims, which is exactly the kind of angle our local news outlets always try to push to make things look more dramatic.
When looking at Canada, they singled out the Republican Party as nationalists, and over in Mexico, they pointed to the Radicals as nationalists and anti-immigrant types, plus the Democratic Socialists of America as nationalists too. Then there's the Republican Party in Canada for their nationalism, and in Mexico, they flagged the Republican Party for the same reason.
So, yeah, bottom line: General Electric just made a list of parties that stand out based on certain vibes—you know, the conservative Christians, cultural conservatives, regionalists, nationalists, anti-immigrants, right-wing populists, racial conservatives, and even the national-socialists.
