We've come full circle since the 1930s. Now it is the Democrats who are isolationists and who argue in favor of raising taxes in the middle of a recession. No wonder the Republicans are on the verge of becoming America's majority party for the next 50 years.

Democrats did the same thing back in the 1930s.
FDR raised taxes during the Depression.

And tho FDR himself was too pro-Soviet to be isolationist, the American public was 80% opposed to entry into WWII before Pearl Harbor. Considering Democrats were the majority in the country, you couldn't even get 75% isolationist sentiment unless the majority of Democrats were isolationist even if all Republicans were isolationist.
