a mask of anti-interventionism."

Not a new observation from experts analyzing her actions and noting strong white nationalist support for her, of course, but coming from redoubtable cyberwar/disinformation researcher and journalist Caroline Orr (@RVAwonk), but worth pointing out again.

Since she announced her candidacy, Gabbard has appeared regularly on television to cycle through her talking points, many of which sound strikingly familiar to those Trump offered up on the campaign trail in 2016. Her foreign policy stance clearly resonated with a core group of true believers, who regularly take to social media to champion the congresswoman and tout her so-called “peace campaign.”

But despite what she and her supporters claim, Gabbard is not an “anti-war candidate.”
She’s not opposed to war; she’s opposed to U.S. involvement in some wars — even if that means doing nothing to help civilians who are being slaughtered by war criminals. She has accepted huge sums of money from the defense industry, expressed support for increasing the use of drone strikes, and hinted that she would consider using torture if she thought it was necessary. And like Trump, she believes in putting “America first,” regardless of the global consequences.

She isn’t “anti-war” — she’s a nationalist, hiding behind a mask of anti-interventionism.

Thanks for the post, Cha.

more of them voted for someone they wouldn't hire to stock shelves in a dollar store. The ones I really admire, though, are those whose balance and solid principles enable unwavering commitment to citizen sovereignty.
