What the hell is going on with the American right
On a related note, it’s amusing how there’s a bit of a civil war they’re having over blaming Brandon for enabling Israel’s genocide, and blaming him for “funding” Hamas and not helping them enough. Going by the comments.

Isolationists happen to be on the right side for all the wrong reasons.
None of these people are isolationists. Their idea of America first is preemptively nuking the Middle East, Latin America, and China, then enslaving whoever survives to mine resources for them.
There absolutely are isolationists in the US. They have a long tradition that was far more pronounced before WWII. Rhetorically they dont support getting involved in any war because that only benefits liberal imperialists. But in practice the liberal imperialists just need to fabricate some incident and then they start foaming and demanding we turn some country into glass. A decade later they figure out they were lied to again and the cycle repeats itself.
Once again being reminded of the weirdos who argued that America shouldn't colonize the Philippines because it would make it easier for the Filipinos to move to America. Imagine being so right wing that you somehow come out as a staunch anti-imperialist.
Simple, be a petit-bourgeoisie nationalist who doesn't have a way to profit off of war.
War? What is it good for? Not my small business.
I'm pretty sure that the guys I'm thinking of were mostly Californians who lived in the area around San Francisco and helped found Stanford, and who were concerned that the Filiponos would move there if formal colonization occured.
