For mainstream parties in France, the Conservatives in the UK, and Trump’s more internationally minded Republican rivals in the US, there is nothing to be gained from copying the arguments of their extremist counterparts. Doing so would yield crucial ground in the political battle over how best to serve the country and its people.
对法国主流政党、英国保守党和美国特朗普的更有国际头脑的共和党对手而言，复制他们的极端主义对手的观点无济于事。这样做只能丢掉政治斗争的关键领域——如何最好地服务于国家和人民。主流政党必须夺回爱国主义的大旗，据此重新定义国家利益。在当今世界，国家利益在于如何管理开放，而不在于放弃开放。
