It's the natural result of a century of anti Russia and anti Chinese propaganda. The entire western world lost its damn mind and is likely to go full nuclear warfare before realizing they've been manipulated by a few wealthy people.
We definitely had some kind of anti-war movement during the GWB administration. But under Obama, they completely obliterated it.
The DNC primaried every anti-war representative they had, and are running literal, self-identified CIA agents for seats (including Elissa Slotkin who just delivered the Dem response to the state of the union, praising Reagan). They also helped the police and intelligence agencies coordinate a crackdown of protest across the entire country to protect Israel. And they’re working with the GOP to build cop cities across the country.
At this point, I consider the Democratic Party to be a branch of the CIA.
