"The field of inquiry should remain open, and the right of debate must be regarded as a sacred right."
—1917 Sen. William Borah, R-ID
Anti-internationalists who opposed U.S. entry into World War II were mostly led by Republifinks like Charles Lindberg who didn't just want to sip tea with Hitler but lionized him as the great reformer of Germany and the rest of Old Europe. Borah was a Progressive Republican, a species that died when Lowell Weicker left the Senate. The presentday endtimes Fossilized Party doesn't need to study or understand history as long as they got the catchy analogies.
