"America first" is a term that references the World War Two-era "America First Committee," and is used by extremists in antisemitic, racist and xenophobic ways. America First, in conservative circles, often refers to an ideology that was promoted by Donald Trump when he ran for office and served in office, which emphasizes American nationalism, nonintervention and anti-immigrant and anti-globalism beliefs.

This is historical revisionism.

The globalists probably preferred it when the older generations controlled who got elected into office and all you had to do was accuse someone of being isolationist and they could never get elected.

In 1941 when the America first committee was at its peak politically they called it anti semitic and nazi sympathy.

Which was at the time a propaganda campaign by Britain in order to get us involved in the war in Europe.

America first is about asking a question about our foreign policy that critics have argued is a crime.

"What do americans think their role in the world out to be?

Should the United States- Must the United States take a leading role in the world, should the United States concern itself in conflicts among other nations that don't directly involve American interests?"

This question was on the ballot in the 2024 election and was a major theme on the presidential debate stage.

One candidate claimed that the USA must play a leading role around the world and the other candidate said that the USA must be "America first."
 
Nothing lights up the bot's circuits faster than contradicting the Hasbara.

I sort of like the idea that they call everything and everyone antisemitic now because it makes it lose its meaning and historical context.

Its like the boy who cries wolf. Eventually they'll cry wolf and it will fall on deaf ears.
 
I never sensed that Ron Paul was any of those three. He is a very good guy, you know. One of the best, in fact :up: :)

Where have you been?

He's most likely not any of those three.

That did not stop the system from dragging his name through the mud and accusing him of all three things.
