>but the anti-war movement in the USA since before the two Bush presidencies has largely been from the left
Yes, and Obama's biggest magic trick was making the anti-war left disappear. Now, it is ultimately a social justice party rather than a class based one, and the anti-intervention group in the gov is mostly MAGA. The thing is, the entirety of the Republican establishment in DC is still mega pro-interventionist like they used to be, so the degree of which MAGA can even push anti-interventionist policies is at least somewhat marginalized, especially when the movement is led by a buffoon like Trump who doesn't have any idea what he is actually doing.
To some extent, I get supporting Ukraine to some degree financially and selling weapons. But if you were on reddit or twitter before Elon took it over, whenever the subject approached Russia, you would see the most bloodlusted comments I have really seen on social media. It really reminded me of the type of comments I have read about Germans back in WW1 and it just seemed so fucking unbelievable.
And ultimately, what the left has to face is that they are supporting a forever war in Ukraine where Ukraine will find every fighting age single male Ukranian on the street, v& them, throw them in the front lines as canon fodder until the last one is dead. They can reconcile that however they want, but it is so fucking easy to sit on your chair and tweet support for the war when you are essentially volunteering an entire population of another nation to die for some virtue signal against Russia. Say whatever you will about Trump, but Trump even pursuing some idea of a peace when it would save countless lives was met with such a disgusting reaction from the left, I really feel they have abandoned their entire humanity. And all this for what was considered the most corrupt and 3rd world government in Europe before that was memory holed when this whole war happened.
