Actually the reason the Left in the US supported the war against the Nazis and the Japanese is because Germany and Japan had attacked the USSR.

The Japanese never attacked the USSR. Stalin only attacked them at the end to grab territory in Asia.

As for the Democrat party, most were actual liberals in the JFK mold (or conservative Dixiecrats) until the late 60s and early 70s. Like JFK they were anti-communist. Then the New Left took over all the institutions of power on the left. Now they are just leftists.

Some say it wasn't fear of the atom bomb that made Japan surrender to the U.S., but it was the fear of a Russian invasion.

Actually the Japs did attack the USSR. They got their asses beat so bad, they would never bleep with the Russians again. They would live up to their neutrality pact with the USSR to the end. Look up the battles of Khalkhyn Gol.
