Remember when the left was anti-war?
My working theory is that the longer a party is in power, the more pro-war they become and the longer a party is out of power the more anti-war they become.
I consider the Trump years as a continuation of the left being in power from the Obama years, because Trump didn't really have institutional support from the conservative power-centers in DC, and because of the left's total dominance of academic and elite institutions.

I agree to some extent, but there were plenty of Republican neocons to step up into his cabinet and show Trump how it's done.

I took @SimpleStacker to be referring to the plebs in the movements. Not the leadership. I don't think the left or right are ideologically opposed to war. Not the leadership. They both work for the MIC and "Corporate America". Remember that buzzword? Now its more like the Global Elite. Same people though.
