So, because the "horse has left the barn" we should just follow it down the Leftward road?

Seems self destructive to me. How about we turn around, keep our horses in the barn, and not follow the liberals into oblivion.

Or is that too damn much to ask?

It is too much to ask.

The US can’t just “go home”, pull up the drawbridge and opt out of history, because history will follow us home. The world is too small and technology can reach us here.

If the US did go home, based on precedent, the world is guaranteed to devolve into World Wars III, IV, V and etc., as the US has been holding the lid down on the boiling pot.

And this isn’t a matter of analyzing current enemies or current threats only; one has to consider that problems will crop up or escalate from unexpected directions. The lessons of history are grim.
