So many of the war hawks these days are in the democratic party while many on the right have an America First aversion to foreign interventions like Afghanistan. I'm not certain that terms like left and right even have meaning any longer.

One reason Trump was so hated was he questioned America's forever wars. The establishment of both parties are now very much on the right, as are their war and ratings loving media cheerleaders.

Left and right still have meaning - just not when it comes to the MIC, even though their support for war is often motivated by differing idiologies. When were kids in school, civic class was superman ideology; truth, justice, and the American Way. Our truth, justice upon others, and ram democracy and capitalism down their commie throats.
