    No you did mention maybe you’re being pedantic, that’s why I brought it back up. I wasn’t trying to be a bitch lol

    And yeah, isolationist really is a more accurate term. However I’m thinking that the right has indoctrinated their voter base against it.

    I don’t have hard evidence for that argument, it’s just the vibe I get living here.

      I can’t say for sure how much indoctrination has happened, but I remember hearing “isolationism” as a sort of bogeyman in history classes. So there’s at least that for some people

        Yeah, I picked up that connotation learning about world war II and how that played out.

        But I don’t exactly trust our education system to have gotten that message to everybody. Especially with all the noise from the white nationalists.

          You don’t have to trust the education system. Pay attention to the words that media outlets use to scare people. Use those words against the enemies, because that’s what scares them
