    There's a historical comparison to be drawn between this and how USA isolationists were briefly flummoxed by Pearl Habor attack, supported FDR briefly (for a few months) and then reverted to nitpicking hostility & defeatism. Joseph Medill Patterson is an example.https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1500547164413612040 …

        However within 10 days after Pearl Harbor, all 450 chapters of the America First Committee nationwide were disbanded. ALL

        I’ve been skeptical this unity would last and that we would likely get some Plot Against America typ scenario where enough people are willing to elect a Pro-Putin demagogue on the promise of lower gas prices.

        Replying to @spotics @HeerJeet

        Yes. Never felt like unity as much as a lot of Putin-loving people being so online they let their need to "own" take over any common sense about likelihood of invasion. After a short pause they are back for more hot takes, including their old Trump line ("you made him do this").

        My father always said “You should of seen what they did/said about FDR during the depression & WW2. Never helping always complaining.” Same guys different times.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        If your claim is that the pro peace crowd were uniquely "flummoxed" by the invasion, what are you trying to suggest the usa should have done in the build up? More arms?
