The left pretends they are pacifist, and the right pretends they are isolationist; in practice, they're not. | Traditionally this didn't map left/right. The left pretends they are pacifist, and the right pretends they are isolationist; in practice, they're not, or at least not always. Both will jump into wars for various reasons (the left for Social Justice, or undermining American interests, the right for them). Thus this one is the most blurred. |

| Isolationist - (pacifist). Historically, the left has been more pacifist than the right. But the right has more isolationists: and isolationism was more traditional American foreign policy. But once in the fight, the right wants to fight to win, the left historically fights to lose. |
Moderate - There are cases where the left or right has been reluctant to get involved. But generally, they flip on who wants to be interventionist, and who wants to be isolationist. Usually, on the same war. (Like left was Gung Ho on Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan... but then wanted to leave before the job was done. |
Interventionist - (militarist) - The right was more against going in, but more for staying in, or fighting to win. The left has been willing to intervene, especially on Social Justice/Humanitarian means (but not against Communism/Leftism), and with anything Europe or U.N. wants. The right is more about U.S. interests, or defending pro-Liberty (anti-Communist/leftism) or for individualism. |
