I agree with your overall idea that neo-conservatism is becoming more and more outdated, already essentially replaced with Trumpism. I still hope to see an end to operations in the handful of Middle Eastern countries that the U.S. remains tangled up in, though exiting Afghanistan was a sign of an end to our commitment to nation-building around the world.
A clearer focus on domestic concerns is needed right now and partly drove the shift, it makes little sense for us to be spending as much as we do on questionable wars when we are struggling to take care of our own population.
Now, I could be wrong, so I suppose this should be taken with some salt.
But I'm under the impression that there are still many people in the USA who view that the aid given to Ukraine is nothing more than yet more 'waste of taxpayer's money' or whatever their reasoning. Particularly among those who would like to see President no. 45 returned to the White House.
The way I see it, they fail to see the big picture and the importance of the West being united against Russia. Or maybe those people simply don't care.
Yeah, there are many isolationists, true isolationists, and it's a foolish attitude. Many of the disillusioned lefties this piece is criticizing are in this camp.
Disillusioned lefties who have become supporters of Trump?
I've just happened to see more than a few online comments of people stating that they're giving their vote to him because they've grown disappointed at what the Democratic Party and the left of the USA has become.
The people this piece is criticizing aren't Trump supporters, but they've allowed their hatred of neocons, along with other factors, to cause them to walk away from supporting Dems.

I guess so.
I only wish that less people in the USA would see the war against Russia as questionable.
Questionable in what sense?

Or something along those lines anyway.
