tbf I think the 'normie' world already believed that given that the president currently in charge ... campaigned on avoiding more wars. Not that anything makes a lot of sense these days but I still remember the atmosphere around the Iraq war when you had the 'freedom fries' and 'if you're not with us you're against us', rhetoric.

Now there seems to be virtually no patriotic sentiment except for the face-keeping from officials and some hardcore supporters who just repeat anything. But many Americans seem utterly confused.

For the record, Bush the 2nd also campaigned on non interventionism.

Isn't that part of the plan.
