“Some claimed”?
Geeze, say a word against the invasions of Iraq or Afghanistan around here in the early 2000s and you’d get pilloried as a jihad-loving extremist. “Conservatives” have been just as war hungry as ‘liberals’ for longer than any of us have been alive. There are *lots* of things to hate the Left on, but that one has four fingers pointing back. That was the real break Trump made; there was a LOT of jingoistic cheering for both wars against Iraq and what we did in Afghanistan.
Rather than categorize dems v GOP or liberal v conservative, I choose to classify the candidates as globalist v nationalist. That clarifies a lot to me. Of the two I am most definitely a nationalist.
