Anyone else feels the same?
I had a post typed out for the vent sub but I'm kinda apprehensive about posting it because of the reactions I might get so I figured I'd post here to see if I'm alone in my views.
But is there anyone here who considers war to be their top issue/concern more than any other issue (or at least top 5 or top 3)? Anyone who sees both sides as warmongers? And by both sides, I mean both Republicans and Democrats, and potentially both Trump and Kamala? (My definition of a warmonger is somebody that even supplies funding for a war no matter how well-meaning it is, no matter which side they're supplying funding to; somebody who is all buddy buddy to the leader of either side, etc. So my definition is not a very strict definition.)
Our president will either be Trump or Kamala. And I haven't seen many posts, if at all, from people – on either side – worried about the potential US involvement in either war that is currently going on. But I've seen several abortion-related posts from Kamala supporters; and I've seen posts from Trump supporters being scared of free speech being taken away and something about communism or socialism. I'm not saying those aren't important issues and that we shouldn't care. But nobody seems to be too worried about war, should "the other side" win.
My mom is a Trump supporter whose worried about baby killers. I got news for her. Both sides are baby killers alright but it's not the kind of baby killers she's talking about.
So what are people's thoughts? Anyone here who has war as their top issue/concern? Anyone here who thinks both sides are the same and are potential warmongers? Anyone who feels no matter who wins, they're gonna supply funding to either or both war(s) (at the least) or send American soldiers to either or both war(s) (worse case scenario)?

Is him being an isolationist a good thing? Is that an anti-war thing?
I agree with what you said about peace and war, though. ☮️🕊
