And a great many leftists. You should spend a bit of time looking at other social media besides DU.

Maybe my focus is a little narrow, but when people go on about not providng any aid to Israel, closing US bases in the ME and Gulf, the US lacking moral standing or that its racist to promote western values, all that comes from liberals/progressives and leftists, not conservatives.

The isolationism on the right is different, people like Tucker don't want us to support Ukraine because he does what Putin wants not because he really believes in non-interventionism. You know neoconservatism, a profoundly interventionist ideology never really went away after the Iraq debacle, it went underground.
