It's objectively true republicans are historically the anti-war party and republicans today have more anti-war members of congress than democrats lmao
Not sure why you would bring up the civil war. Not really a war where there was a clear division by party lines. The same could be said for the Spanish-American war. Wilson still got us involved in World War I. There were more republicans in opposition. WW2 is dems. Korean War, dems. Vietnam...Dems. First Iraq war, yes. Second was clearly bipartisan. Libya. Syria. Current conflict with Russia. Iran. Truman basically started the Cold War. Wilson also intervened in Haiti and Nicaragua. LBJ with the 6 day conflict. Clinton bombed Afghanis, Yugoslavia, intervened in Haiti, and etc. Kennedy...cuba. The list goes on. The biggest anti-war voices have come from the right
Taft
Buchanan
Paul
Republicans have been elected more than dems when war was an issue.
Eisenhower, Korea
Nixon, Vietnam
Trump, everything
Bush, everything clinton did
even if all that was true, the current Republican's response to the current issue (PRC's balloon) is obviously lame. Really, nobody looks good here. The Chinese either can't control a weather balloon or have a garbage satellite system. Biden/the military thought nobody would notice the balloon. Instead of bashing Biden for that, they take the "why didn't you shoot it down before it looked at our stuff?" AFTER being given reasonable explanations from the military why that wasn't a good idea. It's almost like everyone in charge of the two most powerful countries on Earth are run by phuquing morons.
