I really hope none of the people being suckered into this jingoist nonsense were actually anti-Iraq/Afghanistan on the sincere conviction that they were against our national interests. I want to believe they were consistent hawks, through and through
At least some died in wool partisans would blindly follow democrats into war but hate when republicans do it, but I really can't even comprehend the whiplash being ignored by liberals who spend the past few decades denouncing the Iraq/Afghanistan wars and screaming that everyone they don't like is a Nazi, only to turn around and support literal Nazis in some shithole proxy war of mass devastation
Not really disagreeing here.. BUT
There is the flip side. the GOP war mongering Boomer crowd that gave us "Islam is going to destroy the US" and your not a "patriot" if you don't support us attacking terrorists in the wrong country etc. That
lived on FOX forever.
There is a 180* from the extremes of both sides
