    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.
