nationalism

Friedrich Nietzsche

is such that an end to the war on terror is arguably not desired as the narrative of a global islamic threat against 'western' civilization makes for a convenient bugaboo and supplies a ready-made justification for closed borders and trump's neo-isolationist concept of 'America first'.

Another concern going forward, perhaps, is that for those who identify themselves with or are seen as part of the white nationalism movement and Bannon, for one, denies he's part of that the specter of a global Islamic threat against 'Western' civilization is a convenient bugaboo, feeding the alt-right narrative of the whites against everyone else. Much as the 'Red Scare' of the 1950s helped to consolidate far-right control in Washington, at least for a time, the bigger the Islamist threat appears, the more compelling is Trump's call to keep the world from our shores, justify closed borders and focus on his neo-isolationist concept of 'America First.' Indeed, much as Obama desperately wanted to end the 'war on terror,' it is fair to question whether some of the people around Trump may not want to.
