Too many answers. White, Male, Presidents.
But I like this one: All founding members of 'America First', the Committee to keep the United States of out WWII.
The (capital L) Left abandoned 'America First' after Operation Barbarossa, prior to which they had few quibbles about being in bed with Big Business guys, like Henry Ford, and some Nazi sympathizers.
Strangely enough the Left returned to Pacifism in the Korean War, and the New Left was founded in the early days of Vietnam.

I wish American isolationism would make a comeback. Maybe start closing military bases overseas and bringing troops home.

| 2. In fairness to JFK, he was a lad of 23 at the time... |
|
...and his Dad was a big appeasement proponent.

| 3. A time when the Bushes and the Kennedys were on the same side. |
|
Prescott was more than an appeaser though ;)
